Personally, I am not a zoo fan. But... when I visited Dresden Zoo after I read “Life Safari“ in May, it changed my life. I am not kidding! I was standing on a platform when a giraffe walked majestically towards me… and he/she was so close! Giraffes are so beautiful. Even in this small zoo area, I was impressed and I asked myself: "What would it be like to experience them in their natural habitat?!" Since then I saved money and did Airbnb to travel to Africa - and it worked! I went to South Africa for half a year. I have learnt so much, grew personally, and it was the travel trip of my life. Now I save money for my next trip, haha. Back to the zoo: Watching the penguins is fun, too. Especially kids have a great time here because the penguins seem to interact with them to make them laugh even more. Behind the penguins is a small restaurant, so I recommend bringing some extra money for ice cream or fries. ;)

Schöner kleiner Zoo. Selbst mit kleinen Kindern ist man hier in zwei bis drei Stunden an allen Tieren vorbeigelaufen und kann sich Zeit auf den schönen Spielplätzen nehmen. Neben Tigern, Elefanten, Giraffen etc. finden sich auch Tiere, die man sonst nicht überall sieht - z.B. ein Faultier.
