Park for 2 euros on weekdays or 5 euros on weekends for few hours with these beautiful creatures. Admission is shockingly free! At the entrance, there's a small food stand that's got your typical schnizel sandwiches for 4 euros or various ice creams for 2 euros and everything in between. Just beyond the food stand/ biergarten, is a little shack that sells boxes of animal feed for 1.50. If used sparingly, it can last you the whole visit. Not to worry if you run out. There are vending machines with animal feed as well. The animals are quite gentle and will gently eat off your hands. The bigger animals will simply open their mouth for you to toss food in. All the animals are enclosed by a large wire fence. There are a couple areas where you can enter and feed the animals inside their enclosures. My little ones enjoyed themselves immensely! There's a strange, wonderful joy to feeding animals directly from the hand. Aside from all this wonderful animal excitement, your children can play in the many playgrounds. Each one is unique in its own way and feature something special. For adults, there's a cool ropes course that costs 12-19 euros and takes a few hours to do. Looks fun for the adventurous. As for me, I prefer to keep my feet on the ground. This is something great for teens and adults who seek a bit more of a thrill in a scenic backdrop. All in all, this is a magical place for folks of all ages. Highly recommended!

I don't know why there are bad reviews of this place.. we drive an HR to come visit and I still…read morethink it was good. It's a very small crowded aquarium though. There's not a lot of room to move around freely in the bottom floor. Once you get to the second floor with the coral there's plenty more room. This is definitely a beginners aquarium for children. It's not huge and most of the fish are able to be seen from a the year olds height. There's a restaurant on the second floor. I would say typical German food. The butter pretzels were so good!! Lol maybe it's just us but we had to get seconds. There's a touch section. Where's one of the employees explains the fish in the small aquarium. It was German lol so I can't tell you what she was saying. Overall it was good, don't expect a huge aquarium!

This was a waste of money. There were a bunch of people crammed in small place and not much to see.read more

It is also extremely affordable and feels like somewhere you could take the kids every weekend, unlike some of the big-name amusement parks. The park has clearly been around for a long time, and when you see reviews going back more than 20 years, they must be doing something right.
