Zoo Neuwied

Zoo Neuwied is an animal park situated along the Rhine area with enclosures designed to resemble natural habitats. The grounds feature pathways for exploration and distinct sections dedicated to different animal groups.

The zoo was founded in 1970 with a focus on Australian animals. In the 1980s, a citizens' organization took over management and changed the park's direction.

Visitors come here to watch animals in settings that resemble their natural homes and learn about different species. The grounds provide space to discover wildlife diversity in a relaxed way.

The grounds are easily accessible on foot and visitors can walk and stop at their own pace to watch animals. The best time to visit is early in the day when animals are more active and the park is less crowded.

The zoo houses one of the largest kangaroo herds outside Australia, sharing space with wallabies and emus in a large enclosure. This Australian collection remains a special focus that traces back to the park's early years.
