Tierpark Herborn, Wildlife park and zoo in Herborn, Germany
Tierpark Herborn in the Uckersdorf district keeps around 400 animals from 90 species across 2.45 hectares. Mammals such as meerkats, muntjacs, kangaroos and Liszt monkeys share the grounds with about 60 bird species, among them Bali starlings, great green macaws, scarlet ibises and snowy owls. A vivarium holds pythons, springhares, fire salamanders and stick insects, and some aviaries can be walked through.
The facility was founded in 1966 and initially focused on birds and nature conservation. Over time it developed into a nonprofit organization and received its current name in 2017.
The park serves as a place where visitors can watch animals up close and learn about their natural habitats. Daily feeding sessions offer chances to follow the keepers' work and understand how animals are cared for properly.
The park is open daily from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. It lies just off the A45 motorway with parking on site; by train, take the line to Herborn station and continue by bus or taxi to the Uckersdorf district. Sturdy shoes help on the grounds, which were enlarged to 2.45 hectares.
The facility operates specialized aviaries for endangered bird species like the Bali starling and great green macaw. These rare birds are part of international breeding programs to protect their species.
