In the heart of the Ruhr region, visitors to the ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen experience a “trip around the world in one day”. Go on a voyage of discovery through the adventure worlds Alaska, Africa and Asia, which offer a lifelike home to more than 900 animals in over 100 species.
The impressive landscape architecture with its almost invisible boundaries enables exciting encounters between humans and animals. Extensive wetlands and grass savannahs, jungles and rocky massifs allow you to immerse yourself in the living world of the animals. You will meet the exotic inhabitants up close, sometimes only separated by a pane of glass.
Experience the territory of the sea lions in the glass underwater tunnel, meet the giraffes at eye level and enjoy the tropical atmosphere with countless exotic plants in the ELE Tropical Paradise.
Additional attractions such as the “Alaska Ice Adventure” or the boat tour with the “African Queen” make the adventure trip perfect for young and old.
Advice for the winter season (from November 1 to March 14):
There may be weather-related restrictions during the winter season.
Due to the weather, some animals may be housed in the indoor areas that are not visible to visitors. Parts of the circular route may be closed. The African Queen is not open from November to February.
