Entrance ticket ZOOM Erlebniswelt

ZOOM Erlebniswelt in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, is located about a 1.5-hour drive from the Dutch eastern border. Experience a world tour in a single day on an area of over 30 hectares. Discover the continents of Alaska, Africa, and Asia, home to more than 900 animals, including 100 different species. The impressive landscape and natural-looking boundaries of this modern zoo create exciting encounters between humans and animals. Alaska combines typical nature with diverse animals from this wintry North American region. Besides the brown bear, the world's largest land predator, you'll also spot islets, lynx, and wolves. In the impressive glass underwater tunnel, visitors dive straight into the world of sea lions. Africa The vast savannas of Africa offer 400 animals their natural habitat. Only a pane of glass separates the lions from visitors. Come face to face with giraffes, zebras, antelopes, ostriches, and rhinoceroses. Further afield, you can observe chimpanzees in their spacious enclosure, and during an exciting boat trip, you'll sail past hippos, flamingos, and baboons. Asia The Asian continent brings the exoticism of the Far East to the heart of the Ruhr Area. The stars of the evergreen landscape are the Siberian tigers. Lush bamboo forests, grasslands, and steppe landscapes are home to orangutans, Asian small-clawed otters, langurs, red pandas, porcupines, and camels. The "Canopy Walk," a 5-meter-high treetop path, offers a unique panoramic view. In the "ELE Tropical Paradise," visitors can experience a tropical atmosphere and the remarkable diversity of 3,600 plants. The evergreen jungle is home to a large community of free-flying birds, as well as reptiles and flying foxes.
