10 Zoos & Aquariums in Hesse That You Shouldn't Miss

April 6, 2022 Misti Hsu

Hesse (/ˈhɛsə/) or Hessia (German: Hessen [ˈhɛsn̩], Hessian dialect: Hesse [ˈhɛzə]) is a federal state (Land) of the Federal Republic of Germany, with just over six million inhabitants. The state capital is Wiesbaden; the largest city is Frankfurt am Main. Until the unification of Germany, the territory of Hesse was occupied by the Grand Duchy of Hesse, the Duchy of Nassau, the free city of Frankfurt and the Electorate of Hesse, known also as Hesse-Cassel. Due to divisions after World War II, the modern federal state does not cover the entire cultural region of Hesse, which includes both the State of Hesse and the area known as Rhenish Hesse (Rheinhessen) in the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

Wildpark Alte Fasanerie Klein-Auheim

Reviewed By RoySproson - Hanau, Germany

I visit the Fasanerie with friends and family each year at different times of the year. We always enjoy the promenade to see the animals which are well known , goats , wild boar , sheep and exotic , lynx , wolves , owls , deer , bison......in vast open space within the forest at the Western edge of Hanau. There is a learning space which is interactive. In the summer , there are drinks and ice cream to rehydrate thirsty visitors. There is an adventure park for the younger members of the family . The service is smiling but discrete and the price is low - the children can also feed the goats and sheep. Highly recommended for visitors to the region.

Zoo Frankfurt

Founded in 1858, this is one of the most important zoos in Europe, containing some 5,000 animals.

Reviewed By TexasBred1967

The zoo was easy to access via public transportation. It was very quiet and the animals were out to enjoy. Our only challenge was the lack of English-speaking staff (our problem). Most of the food vendors were not open. There was not much to be found for lunch. We only found snack foods. The zoo was clean. We enjoyed the trip and would go again.

Opel Zoo

The Open Zoo is a private zoo located 20 minutes north of Frankfurt.

Reviewed By LexaJones - Wiesbaden, Germany

Buy carrots at the entrance and feed the animals throughout your time at the zoo. Best EURO we ever spent. The petting zoo area was tons of fun for the whole family. Feeding the animals more than just pellets (like at other zoos) was awesome. The playground was fun and the pony rides were great!
