Tiergarten Fasanerie Groß-Gerau, zoo in Germany
Tiergarten Fasanerie Groß-Gerau is a zoo covering roughly 13.5 hectares with enclosures for birds, farm animals, and some exotic species such as kangaroos, peacocks, and rheas. The park features open meadows, shaded areas, and well-maintained paths where visitors can observe the animals up close.
The park was founded in 1958 by a small association intent on protecting and breeding endangered bird species. Over the years, the collection expanded to include various farm animals and exotic species, establishing it as a popular family destination.
The name refers to its original purpose as a breeding facility for pheasants and wild birds, a role that has defined the space for generations. It serves as a place where families connect with animals and children gain direct experience with nature.
The park is easily accessible with wide, level paths and offers plenty of shade from trees and seating areas for rest. Visitors should note that only special feed can be used and dogs are not permitted to protect the animals.
Visitors can adopt animal sponsorships and actively support the care and maintenance of individual animals. This opportunity creates a personal connection between visitors and the park's residents.
