Here, the Schottener Soziale Dienst has done something really good for the region and the people it supports. Always worth a visit. When the weather is good, even the enlarged parking lot is full.
Currently admission again :)

As a popular excursion destination in the Vogelsberg region, the zoo and adventure park Vogelpark Schotten offers relaxation and adventure on 40,000 m².

Birds from all over the world await visitors to the lovingly landscaped area. Owls, eagles, cockatoos and many other species - including the large rheas - show the colorful variety of numerous birds from many continents.

But also large and small four-legged friends are at home in the numerous outdoor enclosures. Whether pigs, goats or sheep: old breeds of domestic animals feel just as comfortable on the lush meadows as exotic llamas. The impressive porcupines and the lively coatis are definitely worth a visit. And of course the other attractions in the park: the little meerkats, the Poitou donkeys, the steppe foxes and, and, and...

The tropical house with free-flight hall houses reptiles, monkeys and exotic birds. Here you can discover large and small snakes as well as giant spurred and cute four-toed turtles or bearded dragons and green iguanas. You can also experience squirrels jumping wildly and the often exciting everyday life of Liszt and Barbary monkeys.

Squirrel monkeys and red-handed tamarins live in the small monkey house, which make extensive use of the large playground in front of it and the climbing opportunities provided.

To Australia for a moment? This is possible in the Schotten bird park, because kangaroos and emus live together in the Australia enclosure.

A petting zoo for the youngest and many small oases to look around and linger round off what the bird park has to offer.
