Hannover Zoo

Established in 1865, Hannover Zoo’s 54-acre grounds are home to nearly 250 species. Today the zoo bears little resemblance to a staid 19th century attraction – it has been redeveloped in the style of a family theme park, with rides, playgrounds and immersive enclosures that allow visitors to get a real feel for how animals behave in their natural habitats.

Hannover Zoo’s Theme Worlds

Hannover Zoo is split into several themed zones. Head to Zambezi for a classic African river and savannah environment, featuring flamingos, giraffes, rhinoceros, lions and meerkats. Over in Kibongo, explore an African mountain zone, home to mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. Yukon Bay evokes a Gold Rush frontier town, while Outback recreates a remote Australian farm, complete with kangaroos, emus, wombats and wallabies. Finally, head to a Indian rainforest at the Jungle Palace, where you’ll meet tigers, leopards and Asian elephants.

Food, Drink and Family Fun

After all that globetrotting, the Meyer’s Farm zone brings you back home. Enjoy dining and refreshment in a group of authentic Saxon half-timbered buildings, which are now home to rare livestock breeds such as Pomeranian rough-wool sheep and Exmoor ponies. Mullewapp is a child-friendly activity zone featuring characters from a popular children’s book, and includes a petting zoo, toboggan rides and other fun activities.
