Bremerhaven Zoo, Coastal zoological park in Bremerhaven, Germany.
Description
Zoo am Meer is a waterfront facility that specializes in animals from cold regions and marine inhabitants. The enclosures are designed to recreate the natural habitats that these species come from.
History
The institution started in 1912 as a marine aquarium in a basement building called the Strandhalle. It went through several changes before reopening as the zoo it is today in 2004.
Culture
The zoo's name comes from its location beside the Weser River and its focus on animals from northern regions and marine environments. You can observe how the exhibits center on creatures adapted to life in and around water.
Practical
The site sits right on the water and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can watch feeding times each day, with opening hours varying by season.

Nine large aquarium tanks display North Sea creatures like sea wolves, seahorses, and octopuses behind floor-to-ceiling glass. This marine collection forms the heart of the facility and allows close-up viewing.
