Chameleon in the Bochum Zoo

Tierpark & ​​Fossilium

In the heart of the Ruhr metropolis, the Tierpark & ​​Fossilium offers a unique journey through the world of animals and a look back into prehistoric times. Over 4.000 animals from more than 300 species invite you to exciting encounters and educational experiences. The natural-looking enclosures are home to fascinating inhabitants such as lively ring-tailed lemurs and curious meerkats, who delight young and old with their charm.

A special highlight is the "North Sea World" adventure facility, which has been arousing interest in maritime fauna since 2006 with its seals, penguins and wading birds. The aquarium and terrarium house, which houses over 400 impressive fossils, quenches your thirst for knowledge and provides an understanding of the evolutionary history of our planet. It offers a captivating insight into the fascinating underwater world with native and exotic fish, while snakes, lizards and monkeys further enrich the diversity. The petting zoo is another must-see and offers an interactive experience that makes the day unforgettable.

The zoo is ideally located for a spontaneous visit. With parking spaces and a bus stop nearby, it is easily accessible. Thanks to its infrastructure, it offers an unforgettable experience whatever the weather and is perfect for groups, school classes and families. The youngest can let off steam on the adventurous children's playground, while adults enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and learn interesting facts about nature and species conservation.
