Tiergarten Nuremberg is set in an extraordinary and unique landscape. By taking a walk through the large, densely wooded park the visitors discover open-air enclosures skilfully fitted into the red sandstone of the region. Watch dolphins and sea lions swim and play in the open air at the Dolphin Lagoon. Explore life at the Amazon, complete with rainfall periods, at the Manatee House. Go to the Blue Saloon with its vast panorama windows and experience the fascinating underwater world of both manatees and dolphins. Children will love the Kinderzoo, where they can pet animals and discover a lot more...

We had a lovely visit here on Boxing Day with our 2 year old daughter. So many of the animals have inside enclosures and the whole zoo is in a huge woodland with gorgeous walks between the large exhibits. We couldn’t believe how close we could get to some of the animals without glass between us (giraffes and rhinos in particular). The Manatees are also amazing. Highly recommended and they are open every day of the year!

This is a really nice way to relax for a couple of hours and to see some animals. The walk around the park is not that long, just a km or two, but you can take your time. There are benches to sit on and observe the animals, picnic-tables (at about half-way) for a stop (plus a Toitoi), playing grounds for kids, etc. Some of the animals are roaming free, so dogs are not allowed. You can buy some feed to give to them (don't bring anything except coin money with you, it's not allowed). If you want to relax with the animals, be there early to avoid the screaming kids running into the herds (yeah, looking at you, Tiffany). Parking is free, but on busy times the space can be of an issue. Also, the roads are dirt and may contain some output from the roaming animals, so don't wear your Sunday shoes). One thing to note are the opening hours: Nov-Feb: 9-16, Mar-Oct 8-18, so don't expect the long opening hours in the winter. Definitely worth visiting, with or without kids.
