Jyllands Park Zoo, Animal park in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, Denmark
Jyllands Park Zoo is an animal park in Ringkøbing-Skjern hosting about 500 creatures including lions, hyenas, seals, goats, giraffes, zebras, llamas, baboons, and snakes. The grounds feature multiple viewing areas and daily animal presentations for visitors to watch.
The zoo was founded about 50 years ago and grew from a small animal collection into a major regional attraction in western Denmark. This growth reflects how visitor interest in wildlife experiences increased over the decades in the area.
Visitors enjoy traditional Danish food at the on-site cafeteria while watching animal presentations, combining local cuisine with observation of the creatures. This blend of dining and wildlife viewing shapes how people experience the place throughout their visit.
The park provides covered seating for picnics, public grills during lunch hours, and rental options for strollers and hand carts. Comfortable walking shoes are useful since you will need to move around the grounds to see different areas.
The park features Denmark's largest bouncing pillow covering about 690 square meters (7,400 square feet), offering fun especially for children. A small train also circles the grounds, giving visitors different perspectives on the animals and reduced walking for those who need it.
