Odense ZOO has been elected the best zoo in Europe. We prioritize the well-being of the animals and try to give the animals as natural surroundings within their cages as possible, to increase the quality of their life as well as to give our visitors the experience of seeing the animals as close to their natural invironments as possible.

We took a day trip from Copenhagen by train to visit the Odense Zoo. It was a long day but worth it. Odense Zoo is a smallish zoo—after a full day we had seen everything. It’s not as flashy as the Copenhagen Zoo but has a lot of heart. Lots of great opportunities to get close to the animals and lots of fun activities. My son loved all the playgrounds and the treetop walk was a neat experience. We also paid extra to go sloth-hunting and feed some monkeys and it was quite a memorable afternoon. Only negative was that the food options weren’t that great—pretty much just froed food. We’ll come back again but bring our lunch next time.
2. Fjord & Baelt
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 121 reviews
Fjord&Bælt’s exhibitions are for visitors of all ages. The exhibitions are made up of different rooms where it is possible to immerse yourself in various topics. For instance, in one room you can learn about jellyfish and test your skills at various interactive stations. Another puts you eye-to-eye with the skeleton of a huge sperm whale, where you can test your skills against the fascinating senses and abilities of whales. You can also watch splendid films about the sea on giant screens, which make you feel that you are underwater yourself. The recurring feature of Fjord&Bælt’s exhibitions is our touch pools which provide a unique opportunity to get very close to marine animals. Fjord&Bælt wants to make sure everyone gets his or her hands wet, because we believe that this provides the most profound and intense experience – and hopefully encourages the visitor to ultimately want to take better care of the sea, and not least the aquatic animals living there.
