Tierpark Neumünster

Tierpark Neumünster is a zoo spread across woodland covering about 24 hectares, home to around 700 animals representing about 85 different species. The grounds are designed to show animals in habitats that resemble their natural environments.

The zoo was established to bring animals and nature closer to visitors. Over time, it grew through various projects and initiatives focused on animal care and species conservation.

The site is valued by visitors as a place to experience nature and slow down from daily life. The layout allows people to watch animals in their natural settings and learn about different species and their behaviors.

The grounds have wide paths that are easy to walk with strollers and wheelchairs. There are picnic and barbecue areas where you can rest and enjoy food during your visit.

The zoo is home to Vitus, one of Germany's largest polar bears, who can be watched through an underwater viewing window. This special setup lets visitors see the animal swimming and diving, something rarely visible in most zoos.
