Krefelder Zoo, Municipal zoological garden in Krefeld, Germany
The Krefeld Zoo extends across 14 hectares and maintains specialized areas for primates, big cats, African savanna animals, and tropical birds.
The zoo opened in 1938 at Grotenburgpark with 40 enclosures housing several hundred species as an educational facility for young people.
The facility transformed from a simple animal park to a modern conservation center in 1971 when it officially changed its designation to Zoo.
The zoo operates daily with extended hours from April to September, opening at 8:00 and closing at 19:00 during peak summer months.
The Rainforest House, established in 1998, contains leaf-cutter ants, flower bats, tamanduas, iguanas, and frontal lobe basilisks in a tropical environment.
