Nuremberg Zoo
Tiergarten Nürnberg
A large landscape zoo built into a former quarry in the Lorenz Forest, with a dolphin house, polar bears, and enclosures set into natural rock faces.
Covering about 70 hectares, it's one of the largest zoos in Europe. Its enclosures are built into sandstone cliffs and forest, so it feels more like a forest park. The zoo has a dolphin and manatee house (the Lagoon), with scheduled talks. Adult admission is about €20, and the zoo is open year-round, until 6:30 p.m. in summer. From the city center, take Tram Line 5 to the Tiergarten terminus.
Opening hours
Summer 08:00-18:30; winter 09:00-17:00
