Booking the tickets was very easy and we avoided long queues. We particularly like Cologne Zoo because the enclosures for the animals are spacious and the animals also have the opportunity to retreat. The many playgrounds for children make a visit an entertaining affair. Everything is very well maintained, there is no garbage lying around and the paths to the individual stations are well documented.

Special is a strong word that doesn't fit this zoo. But the child liked it. Many empty kafige and main attractions not available.
