Heimattiergarten Fulda, Animal park in Fulda, Germany
Description
The Heimattiergarten Fulda is a zoo housing about 40 different animal species in varied enclosures that recreate different natural settings. The grounds spread across several areas where visitors can observe the creatures up close.
History
The zoo was founded in 1957 when local bird breeders started displaying their animals here. The aviaries from that time remain standing and continue to be part of the animal collection today.
Culture
The name reflects the original focus on native animals, and this concept still guides which creatures live here today. Walking through, you notice mostly species that belong to or belonged in this region, making your visit feel like exploring your own surroundings.
Practical
The park is easily walkable with paths running through the enclosures where you can see all the animals. Comfortable shoes are a good idea since the ground is uneven in places with several sets of stairs.
Did you know?
The zoo has designated areas where you can feed and touch animals directly, where visitors can get close to goats, sheep, and other gentle creatures. This hands-on experience turns the visit into something more than just watching from a distance.
