Rostock Zoo
A warm welcome to the best zoo in Europe. Rostock Zoo is among Northern Germany's most popular holiday destinations. It's more than just the largest zoo on the German Baltic coast. With 120 years of history, it's also the oldest zoo in Northeast Germany. It is home to 4,500 animals of 450 species from all over the world, and to many unique and valuable plants.
Our zoo is repeatedly voted the best zoo in Europe in the category of zoos with up to a million guests each year. This is not only because of its spacious enclosures, built to resemble natural habitats, but also because of the varied education opportunities.
