Recently on holidays Palmitos Park,Gran Canaria-last time I was there was about 18yrs ago!

I was there before the big fire. Wonderful park

Would agree Andreas-they have a great selection of birds,especially Hornbills.The raptor display was very good as well.

Now in my list added Tierpark Berlin again (last visit in my childhood) and the Zoo Barcelona and the Aquarium Genoa.

Now Meeresaquarium Zella-Mehlis and Zoo Wroclaw again

Hi all, I thought this would be good place to ask for zoo suggestions. I'm planning on going to zoo in Germany (in the west, probably Nordrhein-Westfalen, easy to drive to from the Netherlands). Is there any zoo you've been to in that area that you can recommend? I would love to hear it.
