Guided Story
Can you hear the splashes and cheerful noises? That's the dolphinarium, a standout attraction right in front of you. Did you know it was one of the first of its kind in Germany? Right here, people first marveled at the jumps and dances of these intelligent creatures. Now, turn slightly to your right and you'll spot the home of our famous koalas. These furry Australians have a unique story here, as Duisburg was the first place in Germany to offer them a permanent home. Take your time and enjoy the sight, with the serene backdrop of Kaiserberg adding to the peaceful atmosphere. If you're lucky, you might catch the sound of eucalyptus crunching or the rustling of the South American giant otters nearby. A visit here is not just a walk in the zoo, but a journey across continents.
