Tierpark Gotha

Tierpark Gotha is a facility spread across natural grounds hosting roughly 130 animal species in various enclosures and open areas. Two playgrounds and several observation points are positioned throughout the site for visitors to watch the animals from different vantage points.

This facility originated in a nature reserve at Kleinen Seeberg and gradually evolved into an important educational center for wildlife conservation. Over time, it has expanded continuously and now plays a significant role in environmental education for the area.

This place serves as a gathering spot for families in the region, offering children direct contact with animals from different parts of the world. The site fosters a connection between visitors and wildlife through daily encounters and seasonal activities.

The site is best visited on dry days, as some pathways are unpaved and can become slippery in wet conditions. Comfortable shoes and a bottle of water are advisable since visitors spend considerable time walking and shaded rest areas are limited.

Throughout the grounds, QR codes allow visitors to access video content about animals on their mobile devices when the creatures are not visible. This feature enables people to learn more about animal behavior and lifestyle even when the creatures remain hidden from view.
