The closeness to the animals is unmatched: visitors are allowed to feed elephants, waddle along with penguins, and observe small apes in facilities without barriers. The “Africaneum” for gorillas, the jungle for orang-utans, the elephant hall, and the new meerkat area are especially worth seeing. Children especially love the “Children and Horse Park” with ponies, giant donkeys, wolf’s wood, and petting zoo. A total of 3,206 animals of 314 species live at the Allwetterzoo.

The All-Weather zoo is named for its “all weather walkways” that offer protection against the rain or the sun. In addition to the large animal houses you can walk around in and the BioCity, which is concerned with the protection of species, there is a “Dolphinarium” and the Westphalian Horse Museum. Both are included in the entry fee. The zoo grounds, which are like a park, offer many services to the visitors: idyllic picnic areas, restaurants, and kiosks, a sunbathing lawn for the summer, and beautiful playgrounds for children large and small. There are also facilities for disabled guests and diaper changing areas.

The zoo is in the middle of the Aasee recreational area and be reached easily by car, bus, or bicycle. You can bring your dog with you. The zoo opens every day of the year at 9 a.m.
