Aalborg Zoo
One of Denmark's most popular zoos, with polar bears, giraffes and an African savanna zone. It is well suited to families with children.
Aalborg Zoo was founded in 1935 and covers about 8 hectares, housing around 1,500 animals. It is known for its polar bear house, African savanna mixed-species enclosure, tropical rainforest house and monkey hill. The zoo takes part in several endangered species breeding programs and is one of the most visited zoos in Denmark. Keepers give feeding talks throughout the day, and the park includes a children's farm and play areas. Tickets cost about DKK 200 (cheaper if bought online). It is about a 10-minute bus ride from the city center, and it's best to allow half a day.
