A historic zoological garden in Hamburg founded by Carl Hagenbeck in 1907. It revolutionized zoo design worldwide as the first institution to eliminate cages, housing animals in naturalistic open-air enclosures separated by hidden moats. The sprawling 19-hectare park features a tropical aquarium under a glass dome, an Arctic Ocean zone with polar bears and walruses, and a celebrated herd of Asian elephants.
Highlights
- Pioneering open-air enclosures using moats instead of bars
- Arctic oceanarium with polar bears and swimming penguins
- Immersive tropical aquarium dome housing sharks and reptiles
