Zoo am Meer
A small zoo on the Weser estuary embankment in Bremerhaven, focused on northern and marine animals, with polar bears, seals and penguins as the most popular attractions.
The zoo is compact and built along the embankment. Its main residents are polar bears, sea lions, seals, penguins and Arctic foxes, and underwater glass lets visitors watch polar bears swimming. It sits right beside the Emigration Center and the Klimahaus, making it a good addition to a day in Bremerhaven with children. A visit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Opening hours
