Copenhagen Zoo, Zoo in Frederiksberg Municipality, Denmark
Copenhagen Zoo is a zoological facility in Frederiksberg where animals from different climates and regions live in carefully designed habitats. The grounds include various themed areas that recreate the environments these creatures come from.
The zoo began in the 1800s as a small collection of birds and other creatures. It gradually expanded over time into the larger facility that operates today.
The modern facilities include an elephant house by Norman Foster and a panda habitat by Bjarke Ingels Group, reflecting Danish architectural excellence.
The grounds are easy to walk through and have resting spots scattered around the property. Comfortable shoes are helpful since you will be on your feet while moving between different areas.
One section lets visitors watch polar bears swimming underwater through glass panels. This view shows you movements and behavior that are normally hidden from sight.
