Jaderpark, Animal and leisure park in Wesermarsch, Germany

Jaderpark is a privately owned zoo and leisure park in Jaderberg, in the Wesermarsch district of Lower Saxony. Its zoo section holds more than 600 animals, including 35 mammal species and over 70 bird species, on open-air enclosures and in tropical houses. A large Africa enclosure keeps giraffes, zebras, ostriches and antelopes together, and a South America complex opened in 2022 for tapirs, capybaras and giant anteaters.

The site was established as a zoo in 1950, though the land originally housed a 17th-century farmhouse tavern before that. The Ludewigt family took over the grounds in 1995 and has managed it since then.

From November 2007 to October 2015, Radio Bremen produced seven seasons of the ARD documentary soap 'Seehund, Puma & Co.' at the park, showing keepers at work with the animals. The park also names its themed areas after regions and trades: the Okavango-Delta recreates an African village around the giraffe, zebra and antelope enclosure, and the 2024 bobsled coaster Ziegelblitz runs through a recreated historic brickworks.

The park is split between the historic zoo section and the themed leisure areas, with the Okavango Delta and Grizzly Adventure lying beyond the animal enclosures. The Jade-Express narrow-gauge train links two stations, one at the giraffe house and one opposite the round-boat ride, which shortens the walk around the Africa enclosure. The Okavango River log flume has a vertical lift and a backward drop of 7 metres.

The Spielscheune opened in 2005 inside a converted heritage-listed Reithalle, a riding hall, not a farm building. The park's roots reach back to a 17th-century Landköterei that the Kollmann family turned into an inn, later run by the Pundt family.
