Guldborgsund Zoo, Zoo and botanical garden in Nykøbing Falster, Denmark
Guldborgsund Zoo is a facility combining animal enclosures and botanical plantings in the area near Nykøbing Falster. The grounds house a range of species from different regions, arranged across defined outdoor spaces.
A local entrepreneur founded the zoo in 1933 from modest beginnings with community support. The facility expanded steadily and drew crowds from its earliest days of operation.
The zoo serves as a gathering place for families in the region, where children spend time observing animals in open settings. It functions as a community destination that people return to across different seasons.
The zoo operates seasonally with extended hours during warmer months and shortened hours in colder periods. There are designated areas where visitors can have hands-on contact with certain animals.
Rocky cave structures at the entrance house small Asian otters that visitors quickly notice. Behind these formations sits a tropical house containing South American species not seen elsewhere on the grounds.
