Knie’s Children’s Zoo regards it as its task to give all guests the opportunity to learn more about the zoo’s approximately 380 animals, as well as about biodiversity. As a result, it is a popular place of encounter for people and animals. Ton-heavy Asian elephants, inquisitive African miniature goats, and agile squirrel monkeys all guarantee a wealth of fascinating experiences.
A ride on a pony or, for those with a head for heights, a two-humped camel, enables close-up contact to the animal.
The elephant park, “Himmapan”, is one of the highlights at Knie's Children's Zoo. It features plenty of space for the animals and a bridge as an ideal viewing-point to observe the elephants below.
