Germany's Original All-Weather Zoo Experience

Revolutionary Covered Walkway System Allwetterzoo Münster earned its name from the innovative 'Allwettergänge' (all-weather walkways) - covered paths connecting major animal houses, allowing visitors to explore comfortably regardless of weather conditions. This unique 1-kilometer covered network makes it Germany's most weather-independent zoo.

Close Animal Encounters Philosophy The zoo's motto 'Animals Up Close' is exemplified through unique experiences: visitors can feed elephants, accompany penguins on walks, enter primate enclosures, and interact with free-flying birds. This hands-on approach creates unforgettable wildlife connections.

National Television Fame Gained nationwide recognition through the ARD documentary series 'Pinguin, Löwe & Co' (Penguin, Lion & Co), with over 100 episodes filmed at the zoo, attracting visitors from across Germany to experience the famous animal personalities.

Comprehensive Conservation Center Houses the International Center for Turtle Conservation and coordinates five European breeding programs, including endangered orangutans, sun bears, and anoa. The zoo's Persian leopard artificial insemination program represents cutting-edge conservation technology.
