About the event
The route runs from coral reefs and sharks to crocodiles, penguins, insects and a tropical hall with free-flying birds and butterflies. Museum displays of minerals and shells round off the visit. Everything is indoors, with step stools for children and an accessible route. Families should allow two to three hours; commented feedings give the day a rhythm. Tip: the Messe P4 car park is a few minutes' walk away and there is free parking along Kaiserswerther Straße; the U78/U79 stops at 'Nordpark/Aquazoo'.
