Description Destination

Discover the world of around 4,000 animals in more than 300 species!
In the Tierpark + Fossilium Bochum you can marvel at magnificent black vultures, curious meerkats and ancient giant tortoises.
Experience the new ASIAN WORLDS with small-clawed otters, porcupines and binturongs and explore the rainforest at night, where sugar gliders and slender lorikeets greet you. Take a detour to the NORTH SEA WORLDS to see the seals and waders or travel back to prehistoric times in the AQUARIUM AND TERRARIUM HOUSE with fossils that are millions of years old. Next door, colorful fish swim and rare lizards climb around.
The petting zoo, display food kitchen and the large zoological exercise playground are a highlight for the whole family.
