    (Translated by Google) You should definitely plan in addition to the zoo visit. Snakes, piranhas, crocodiles, spiders, frogs, ants ... everything can be admired and admired. As already stated in another review, the silk spiders live free. No glass in front of it, nothing. That's really impressive! (Original) Sollte man auf jeden Fall neben dem Zoobesuch mit einplanen. Schlangen, Piranhas, Krokodile, Spinnen, Frösche, Ameisen... alles ist zu bewundern und zu bestaunen. Wie schon in einer anderen Rezension steht, leben die Seidenspinnen frei. Kein Glas davor, nichts. Das ist richtig beeindruckend!

    The Cologne Zoo's terrarium and insect house is a wonderful attraction for anyone interested in the world of reptiles, amphibians and insects. The facility is spacious, giving the animals ample space to move and interact while offering visitors a unique insight into their fascinating world. The animals in the terrarium are very diverse and there is a wide range of species to see, from snakes and lizards to frogs and turtles. The staff is very knowledgeable and happy to provide information about the different species and their lifestyles. It is impressive to see how the animals move in their natural environment and how they are lovingly looked after by the keepers. The Insect House is another highlight of the attraction and features a fascinating collection of insects from around the world. It's amazing to see how different and diverse these creatures are and how important they are to our ecosystem. There are also interactive activities where you can see the insects up close and learn more about their lifestyle. Overall, the Cologne Zoo Terrarium and Insect House is a great attraction for families and animal lovers looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. The spacious facilities, interactive activities and knowledgeable staff make the visit an unforgettable experience. I can definitely recommend the terrarium and insect house at the Cologne Zoo.

    A must when visiting the zoo. Interesting insights into the world of insects. There is even a small walk-in enclosure where butterflies live. The easily visible ant colony is also impressive. Everything could be designed a little more modern and closer to nature.

    On the smaller side and gets crowded easily, but not bad to see some insects, frogs, snakes, crocodiles, and lots of small fish.

    Went to the Cologne Zoo several times during the Corona period. It was understandable that the aquarium was closed. The fact that there is no entrance fee just for the aquarium makes absolutely no sense, especially since it is a separate part with its own entrance.

    There are so many species, making it a paradise for reptile and aquatic life lovers. There is a piranha feeding event on Monday, which is worth a visit

    (Translated by Google) You were not warned that you might see insects. I'm afraid of spiders and the rest! Bad bad! (Original) Man wurde nicht gewarnt, dass man eventuell Insekten sehen könnte. Dabei habe ich angst vor Spinnen und des weiteren! Schlimm schlimm!

    It's getting old and it's definitely time to modernize it. But it's still very interesting, here you can see reptiles that you wouldn't otherwise see. The Philippine crocodiles are definitely very rare and worth seeing.

  • 5/5 Helene A. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unique to watch the piranyas feeding. Seeing the different insects up close gives you goose bumps. It is beautiful and lovely to walk through the butterfly hall. The butterflies already sit on the head or hand, then you could see them very closely. The beehive is also wonderful, everything is well worth seeing (Original) Einzigartig die Piranjasfütterung zu beobachten. Die verschiedenen Insekten hautnah zu sehen macht Gänsehaut. Wunderschön und lieblich ist es durch die Schmetterlingshalle zu gehen. Die Schmetterlinge setzen sich schon ma auf den Kopf oder Hand, dann kam man diese ganz nah sehen. Auch der Bienenstock ist wunderbar, alles sehr sehenswert

    A bit old-fashioned, but interesting. In addition to numerous aquariums, there are terrariums with snakes, insects, lizards and much more. Entry is included in the zoo ticket. Not all aquariums are easy for children to see, so I deduct a point. But it's worth a visit!

    Unfortunately, it's actually getting a little old. Still worth a visit. There are an endless number of small and large animals that can be admired here. From a freely accessible room full of butterflies to an ant colony. Many aquariums and terrariums. And there are very informative boards about all the animals. Fun for kids and grown-ups.

    Some of it is quite carelessly furnished and the reptile department is very lame and boring

    (Translated by Google) The Cologne Zoo and Terrarium is always worth a visit. (Original) Der Kölner Zoo und Terrarium ist immer ein Besuch wert.

  • 4/5 Miriam W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The terrarium is great. Very interesting and exciting for the very young children. I personally did not like the insects that much, but that's because of a personal aversion to little crawlers. But they are fascinating anyway. Since the entrance fee is included in the zoo entrance, I would advise anyone to take a look. But only after the zoo visit, if you still have time. (Original) Das Terrarium ist super. Sehr interessant und auch schon für die ganz kleinen Kinder spannend. Die Insekten haben mir persönlich nicht so gut gefallen, was aber an einer persönlichen Abneigung gegen kleine Krabbler liegt. Aber fazinierend sind sie trotzdem. Da der Eintritt mit im Zoo Eintritt inbegriffen ist, würde ich jeden raten kurz mal rein zu schauen. Aber erst nach dem Zoo Besuch, wenn man noch Zeit hat.

  • 4/5 Frank S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the insectarium is not so well maintained; the free-living spider was not there anymore. That's why only four stars. (Original) Leider ist das Insektarium nicht mehr so gepflegt; die frei lebende Spinne war auch nicht mehr da. Darum nur vier Sterne.

    The condition of the aquariums calls for care. I also find it quite pathetic to put giant valisnerias in a display aquarium with large plastic saucers. The terrariums were ok, but I've rarely seen an aquarium without huge amounts of cyanobacteria. To put it mildly, the condition of the fish was also suboptimal.

👍 Really a nice zoo, everything was very clean and well maintained. You can experience a lot of animal feeding and there is a lot to discover, especially in the animal houses. I think the entrance fee is reasonable. We were able to take many beautiful photos. Definitely worth a visit and a must see if...
