Tierpark Gettorf, Zoo in Gettorf, Germany
Description
Tierpark Gettorf is a zoo set across landscaped grounds featuring approximately 850 animals from around 150 species, with substantial primate collections. The park has different areas where visitors can watch animals and take part in interactive experiences.
History
The zoo was founded in May 1968, initially focusing on primates. Over time, the collection expanded to include many other species from around the world.
Culture
The zoo provides opportunities to watch animals during feeding times and interact directly with species like kangaroos and lemurs. These hands-on experiences allow visitors to see the animals up close and learn about their natural behaviors.
Practical
The park is open year-round with longer hours from March to October and shorter hours in winter. It's best to allow plenty of time and wear comfortable shoes, as the grounds are large and require walking to explore.
