What you need to know
- Zoo food only for feeding: carrots are €3 at the ticket desk, and any food you bring gets handed in at the entrance
- Paved but hilly paths that work for strollers, though some stretches are steep
- Stay until dusk, since only the ticket desks close at set times and you leave the grounds through turnstiles
About
Opel-Zoo spreads about 1,700 animals over 27 hectares of hillside between Kronberg and Königstein. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and red pandas live in large open enclosures, and glass panes let kids watch spectacled penguins swim and dive.
In the walk-in petting zoo kids can feed the animals, then head for the adventure playgrounds with a climbing forest, zip line, ball pool and trampoline.
