Tierpark Hagenbeck

About

Tierpark Hagenbeck is one of Hamburg’s most beloved zoos, situated in the Stellingen district of North‐West Hamburg. Since 1907 the park has expanded into a 25‑hectare wildlife haven that hosts more than 1,400 animals from every continent. The layout embraces the pioneering open‑air, moat‑enclosed design that allows animals to roam freely and provides an authentic safari experience. Visitors can marvel at the newly expanded Elephant Pavilion, where Hamburg’s largest elephant herd lives in spacious, natural‑looking enclosures. The Tropical Aquarium offers an under‑water world filled with both saltwater and freshwater species, coupled with daily feeding sessions for sharks and crocodiles. The park’s educational programmes, guided tours and research initiatives underscore its commitment to conservation and education, making it a family‑friendly destination that nurtures respect for wildlife. Apart from the exciting animal encounters, the park features interactive feeding events, a zoo museum and diverse thematic areas, all designed to immerse guests in the wonder of the animal kingdom while preserving Hamburg’s cultural heritage.
