Weltvogelpark Walsrode

Reviewed By LoveToLaugh0704 - Centennial, United States

Our tour this summer took us to the Weltvogelpark. Initially, I wasn't all that excited about it and wondered what in the world we were going to do at a bird park for 4 hours! I think another one or two would have been great! The grounds are extensive and beautifully landscaped with so many beautiful flowers and plants and then there are the birds! Hundreds of birds of all kinds. The penguin show was entertaining and then there is the flight show!!!! OH MY WORD! Being an English speaker, the German narration was lost on me but you can get the gist of it. They highlight birds from around the world and it's done in a huge open field. The birds come flying from all parts and they are up close and personal. Falcons fly right over your head. They have huge condors that are so awkward on the ground. There is a lot of humor and then the finale... Well... It's a finale done on a grand scale! Music playing groups of birds flying all around. Very colorful and exciting. It's a moment when you just throw your head back looking all around, giggling with excitement. Just thrilling! Have your cameras ready because you're going to catch some amazing shots!

Tierpark Nordhorn

Reviewed By CoisDeZweed - Bergen op Zoom, The Netherlands

This is a nice and small zoo where you can walk in between various animals, like wallabies, dears, owls, parakeets and other birds, prairie dogs, etc. There are no giant animals like giraffes, elephants and bears and it has also a lot of animals which you also see in a petting zoo, like donkeys, goats, rabbits, etc. There is one scenery that actually blew me away. It is the one of the Siberian ibex. When you enter this, it is almost like you are watching a national geographics documentary on a very wide screen. Very nicely done!
