    The elephant enclosure in the zoo is a highlight for animal lovers. The spaciousness of the enclosure is perfect for the large animals. The many benches along the enclosure provide a relaxing opportunity to watch the majestic elephants go about their daily activities. A wonderful experience for the whole family!

    In my opinion, prices for snacks or cups of coffee are very overpriced! Otherwise a nice day spent in a well-kept zoo

    (Translated by Google) The elephant house and the outdoor enclosure offer the animals much more space than in many other zoos. It is interesting to observe the individual families. (Original) Das Elefantenhaus und das Aussengehege bieten den Tieren viel mehr Platz als in vielen anderen Zoos. Es ist schon interessant die einzelnen Familien zu beobachten.

    (Translated by Google) Amazing Elephants House is located in the center of Cologne Zoo near the gate includes many types of elephants and varying ages and is one of the most important Nimin this park and you can hear the sounds of elephants high and watch them move and we can take pictures of them There are pictures on the perimeter of the place Type of elephants Sometimes elephants are far from the fence so if you are a professional photography you must choose the right lens Well worth a visit (Original) Amazing بيت الفيلة يقع في مركز حديقة حيوانات كولونيا بالقرب من البوابة يضم العديد من أنواع الفيلة و بإعمار متفاوتة وهي من اهم نايمين هذه الحديقة وبإمكانك سماع أصوات الفيلة العالية ومشاهدتها وهي تتحرك ونستطيع التقاط الصور لها وهناك صور على محيط المكان تحتوي صورة كل فيل و شرح عن كل نوع من الفيلة احيانا تكون الفيلة بعيدة عن السور لذلك اذا كنت من محترفي التصوير عليك اختيار العدسة المناسبة تستحق الزيارة

    Elephants are many here but seems like their area is not well maintained like other animal/birds areas. Very less greenery here.

  • 4/5 Karl Eduard Schmidt (. 5 years ago on Google • 251 reviews
    In addition to a restaurant, the area for elephants begins with a barrel fall, so the ice cream or drinks taste even better and this is a somewhat quiet place. Not far is a paradise for children with play structures, seating and the shade is always very pleasant. The elephant house also has good information on the way to the hall. The Elephant Cemetery brings people closer to the life of giants.

    The elephant enclosure at Cologne Zoo is a wonderful place to experience these majestic animals. The facility is spacious and well maintained and offers the elephants enough space to move and play. The elephant enclosure is divided into different areas, including a swimming area, a feeding station and a mud bath station. The elephants have the freedom to move between these areas and explore their surroundings. The keepers at Cologne Zoo are extremely experienced and take loving care of the elephants. It is impressive to see how well they communicate with the animals and how they understand their needs. The elephant enclosure also offers many informative and entertaining activities for visitors, such as feedings and interactive presentations. It is wonderful to see how the elephants react to the caretakers and show off their skills and behavior. Overall, the elephant enclosure at Cologne Zoo is an unforgettable experience and a wonderful place to see these amazing animals. The spacious facility, interactive activities and dedicated staff make the visit an unforgettable experience. I can recommend the elephant enclosure at Cologne Zoo to anyone looking for a fun and informative activity in Cologne.

  • 5/5 Sebastian R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) This is really great. But you can make more out of it. Could be but the unique selling point. Similar to the savannah in the Leipzig Zoo. But still missing that certain something. The animals are already feeling very well, which of course is the most important thing. (Original) Das ist wirklich toll. Kann man aber mehr draus machen. Könnte aber das Alleinstellungsmerkmal werden. Vergleichbar mit der Savanne im Leipziger Zoo. Fehlt aber noch das gewisse Etwas. Die Tiere fühlen sich aber schon sehr wohl, was natürlich das wichtigste ist.
