What people say

"Copenhagen Zoo is more than just a collection of animals; it's a captivating experience that blends wildlife encounters with architectural innovation. Home to over 4,000 fascinating creatures, the zoo invites visitors on a global adventure, from the icy Arctic to the lush tropics. A highlight is undoubtedly the state-of-the-art Panda House, designed by renowned architect Bjarke Ingels Group. Here, visitors can enjoy delectable French-Asian cuisine at Bistro Panpan while observing these iconic animals. For a more casual dining experience, Spisehuset FOLK offers traditional Danish fare. The zoo's commitment to animal welfare is evident in its innovative enclosures. The elephant house, designed by Norman Foster, and the Arctic Ring, offering underwater views of polar bears, are prime examples of architecture harmoniously integrated with animal habitats. Beyond the animals and architecture, Copenhagen Zoo offers a variety of culinary delights, from quick bites to sit-down meals. With its diverse attractions, culinary offerings, and architectural marvels, the zoo provides a full day of entertainment and education for visitors of all ages."
"If you have a few days to spend in Copenhagen, the zoological gardens are well worth a visit. With more than 4,000 animals from all over the world, Copenhagen ZOO is one of Denmark's most visited attractions. The ZOO was founded in 1859, making it one of Europe’s oldest zoos. In 2008, a British architect designed the elephant house and enclosure at Copenhagen Zoo. Following research into elephants' social patterns, the design of these buildings set new zoological standards in terms of the elephants' physical well-being. A big feature of the zoo is the wooden observation tower. 43.5 metres high, it looks like the Eiffel Tower. The tower was built in 1905 and is one of the tallest observation towers built of wood in the world. Opening hours: Sunday to friday 10am to 4pm Saturdays 10am to 8pm Ticket: Adult: €32 Children: €18.6 Copenhagen card: free "
