Same procedure as every year... if it's possible, we'll visit the zoo.

Unfortunately, we were a little early, and the new seal enclosure is still under construction.

It's always a pleasure to visit the Rostock Zoo. It's like a long, relaxing stroll. The facilities are beautifully maintained, and the new seal enclosure is truly amazing!

Zoos always evoke conflicting feelings.
Today we visited the Rostock Zoo. Watching the polar bears playing underwater was great, and meeting great apes is always very impressive.
The facility as a whole is very well maintained. Catering like in all animal parks/zoos etc is a straight 6.

Today we used the day for an extensive visit to the zoo in Rostock. There was a lot to see in the beautiful autumn weather. The entrance fee is totally worth it! A handcart is recommended for visitors who tire of walking quickly 😁. It was an entertaining trip! For all Dresden zoo connoisseurs: There are polar bears and penguins …

The Rostock Zoo is in category 2 the "most beautiful zoo in Europe". We can confirm that 100%.
