I wish I had the opportunity to visit the zoo during the summer. It seems like after October, or some of the exhibit and interactions with the animals shut down. But it did not disappoint in anyway. Even on a slightly rainy day with an umbrella I was able to see most of the animals and covered the majority of the zoo in under three hours.

Favorite exhibit included the elephant and the giraffes. I also enjoyed the seals, otters, and the lions. The penguins were also super cute. And the interaction with Kanagroos is cool.

I had the most amazing day at the zoo today. All the staff were wonderfully friendly. The animals were amazing to see. Lovely atmosphere and park. I ate in the panda restaurant and the server was brilliant.

Hands down one of the best zoos we've been to overseas. Well maintained, lovely grounds and enclosures. Beautiful unobstructed views of the animals and a great variety of species. The staff were helpful, professional, and courteous. Plan your visit as it's small and I'm sure very crowded in the high season. Excellent place to visit for those of all ages and near a wonderful, spacious large park in Copenhagen.

This zoo is the best zoo I've been to by far.

Beautiful zoo and clean all around areas well kept. Great kind staff. Good view of the animals, and they have such good big enclosures and well thought out on the planning side.

Highly recommend going here. You won't regret it.

A fantastic and large zoo with a large variety of animals, places to eat, shops and playground for the kids. The zoo is beautifully decorated and well thought our with viewing areas both above and beneath the enclosures so you can see then where ever they are. Habitats look a good size for the animals and all seemed happy enough. Only thing I didn't like was the map, it was very confusing. We followed it but it didn't take us to where we wanted to go and where it said on the map so missed a couple of animals because we just couldn't find them. Brilliant zoo and definitely worth a visit. Can easily spend all day there.

And excellent zoo. You can get very close to the animals and they have excellent observation areas both above and below some animal areas. The animals appear to be treated very well and their areas are well decorated.

The zoo extends under the road so make sure you visit both sides. Great for children but fun for adults too. Free entry is available with the Copenhagen Card.

By far, the best zoo I've ever been to. During the visit, we saw nearly every animal the zoo had to offer. Great layout and well designed enclosures, but be prepared to get your steps in! The zoo is unmissable for any animal lover visiting Copenhagen!

one of the best zoo i visited.

the way they designed the zoo is really creative! even when they animal are in water or in their cave, you’ll still be able to go around the enclosure and see them. you won’t be leaving the zoo feeling like you haven’t seen enough of them!

we were lucky enough to meet a baby giraffe that was just born an hour earlier. it is the most beautiful and precious experience!

i also love how kids friendly the zoo is!

Very nice zoo. Animals are very active and healthy. They look happy at least. Elephants are the best. Very calm very skilled using their trunk. Restaurants are pretty ok. Good to stay a whole day here when it’s sunny

This Zoo is amazing, for a metropolitan Zoo with space constraints, it feels huge and is designed in such a clever way. Everything feels clean and the park seems cared about, there are great food options around the park and the play area is great for kids.

*The important part* I'm not an expert but the animals seem well looked after and have good habitats, unlike some other Zoo's I have been too. There wasn't any animals or enclosures where I felt it wasn't suitable.

The zoo also has a bus stop right outside which is useful as a tourist to the city.

A really beautiful zoo that you definitely do not miss when visiting Copenhagen. We spent almost the whole day here and enjoyed it to the maximum. Animals have spacious pavilions/ expositions. You can see them from many angles. You can also choose from many options for food, even healthier versions.
A small recommendation - do not buy toys in souvenir shops, around the zoo Park there are special machines with animals according to the pavilion. It costs a few crowns and do not worry, it is guaranteed, you will always pull out a toy. We have several of them and they are really beautiful and we even had so much fun with the machines and picking the right animal. Not necessary to buy tickets ahead but I highly recommend to come in the morning ;)

Hands down the best zoo I have visited in terms of aesthetics.
It really is beautiful with wonderfully built enclosures.
The zoo is very easy to get lost in and questioning if you have been in certain areas.
the viewing point are by far the best I've seen at any zoo!
The information boards are great and well depicted.
Do not miss when travelling to Copenhagen.
My favourite enclosure was the Panda's, closely followed by the polar bears.
