Zoo Dortmund

Feel that gentle breeze? It's carrying scents of fresh grass and distant exotic plants. Dortmund Zoo, established back in 1953, has its own unique stories to tell. Look over to your left, where the South America Meadow stretches out. You might catch sight of the lively capuchin monkeys swinging from tree to tree. Did you know this zoo was among the first in Germany to start a conservation program for endangered species? If you listen closely, you might hear the calls of parrots from the tropical house. In spring, when everything is in bloom, the burst of colors here is simply breathtaking. Take a moment to soak in the peaceful atmosphere before you move on.
