Amasing place for children and adults! Quite many animals that are ready to meet visitors even in winter! Polar bear & red panda - must see!

Juuso Mäyränen

Great zoo ! Our visit was on a sunny day, temperature just above freezing. Turns out it was an excellent time to visit. Many animals were very active and it wasn't too crowded .

Sam Duffy

A surprisingly good zoo , despite the lukewarm TimeOut write up. Lots of modern enclosures with happy active animals, goid viewing options and a fabulous elephant house designed by Norman Foster.

Murat

Awesome! Great for families. Perfect for team-building events , as the staff is very good. Prices are fine at the food court , but high at the gift shop .

Jonathan Nobre

The place is amazing, full of interesting animals, even wolfs were there :)

Lene Hansen

I love the ZOO in Copenhagen, and I've been visiting several times in my life, first time at 8 years old. At that time they had lioncubs taken care of by a dog, feeding and raising them. :)

Allan Iskov

See the savannah with the animals going free. The polar bears as well and a lot of other great places and animals. Not forgetting the pandas

Otel.com

This zoological garden is one of the oldest ones in Europe, and remains one of the best today. Open 365 days a year, this place has more than 3,000 animals of more than 250 species.

Maria Köhler

What a great zoo ! I just adore prairie dogs. And the polar bear swimming around looks just so impressive! Gorgeous animal.

Andrea Scaramuccia

Very good place to visit in a sunny Spring day, I visited in winter and I felt pity for the lions in the snow...

Roman S

The best place! Only here children and their parents can watch real murder young a giraffe . Cutting of his body. And feeding of the remains to predators. Read more

Kris Crox

A terrific zoo . If you're planning to bike , prepare for it to be at the top of the biggest hill in Copenhagen!

Dan

Despite other Zoos offering to take care of it, this Zoo decided to shot a healthy 18 month old giraffe , and dissect it publicly, because it was incapable of breeding.

Bled Maliqi

The polar bears and brown bears are really playful and fantastic to watch!

Peter Høgfeldt

Great zoo with lots of facilities for kids. Big playground and animals to pet .

Irina Mikheeva

Surprisingly big zoo ! Panda place was under the construction but other areas are nice

Ida Mikkelsen

The polarbears are very intertaining and if you find the churro stand try them!!

Hind Mohammed

Even with a map of the place in my hand, I still got lost. They need to have clear signs and proper directions. But still, I enjoyed the place nevertheless.

Charlotte

Be sure to visit the penguins! They are the cutest

Rune Andersen

Now I'm not big on the whole keeping animals locked up but I've been to a few zoos the world over and this one is lovely with lots of space for the animals and the kids have plenty to do.

Bachir Chaiban

Great selection of wild animals well taken care of

Steen Schøn

One of the best zoo 's in the world. Constantly striving to fullfil all the obligations of a modern zoo .

Jelle Hoogenboom

This is your chance to see a Tasmanian devil! A rarity in zoos outside Australia.

Luigi Santos-Hammarlund

Don't miss the monkey island , turn right as soon as you enter the zoo . If you follow the flow of visitors you may miss it.

Jonathan M. Hethey

Some of the enclosures are far too small. I wish they'd get rid of the large predators, because it otherwise is an awesome zoo .

Stefan Didrik

Dont miss the hippos in their house at the savannah. Open all year!

Ove Jensen

Besides the great outdoor experience, Provianten serves a damn good flæskestegssandwich

Alexander Melhuish

First place in 5 days in Copenhagen that has charged extra for using a foreign credit card - 1.5%! In the café , too...

Soojin Lee

The arctic ring is temporary closed due to its construction . Even a female polar bear is in sensitive pregnant. Hard to see it.

George MacD

Great zoo - particularly enjoyed the elephant house .

Jim Stoddart

Most of the animals were sleeping/inside as it was hot outside, but on the plus side... lots of baby animals!

Christian Strandberg

The Arctic Circle is amazing! Dont miss out on the polar bears new house ...

Charlie Murphy

Great place to visit on a summer day!

Wagner Sartori junior

They have Polar Bears ... Awesome and wonderful

Gorka Guridi

It's a zoo . They have pandas . So, of course, I had to come. Nice panda store.

Omair Khan

Excellent place to spend time with your kids

Estefanía

The animals seem well taken care of

Daniel Panduro

Expensive Zoo , but very nice! Good for kids .

Gaby García Besné

Very disappointed with the new polar bear place. Only 7 of 100 people read the part about conservation. The signs are very bad. They did it in a way that does not call attention at all!

Malik Hayat

Best zoo in Denmark

Maria Cole

Relax, enjoy, bring own food

Evgeny Madorskiy

Great to spend time with kids. However, the territory is way too small for these animals. Utterly unhealthy food everywhere.

François Perlade

Wonderful to see seals and puffins swim .

Fini Alring

Be sure to check out the tiny otters, if you're lucky they will be awake and doing something crazy ;)

Charlie Murphy

Worth the visit!

Louise H

Even a regular pig with little piglets can be a big experience for small children

Ioana

The polar bear new house is awesome.
