Vivarium Darmstadt, Zoo with aquarium and terrarium complex in Darmstadt, Germany.
The Zoo Vivarium spans four hectares, featuring enclosures for over 700 animals from 150 different species in dedicated habitats and specialized houses.
The facility originated as a school vivarium in the Orangeriegarten in 1956, before relocating to its current location in 1965 under engineer Rolf Prange's design.
The Kaupiana association, named after naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup, provides financial support to maintain and develop the zoo's conservation programs.
The zoo offers family tickets for two adults and four children at 22 euros, with special rates for students, seniors, and groups of 15 or more.
The walk-through kangaroo enclosure allows visitors direct interaction with Bennett kangaroos, a subspecies of red-naped wallaby native to Australia.
