Full Description
Copenhagen Zoo in Frederiksberg
Copenhagen Zoo opened in 1859 and lies in the green Frederiksberg area west of the city centre, next to Frederiksberg Gardens. It is a lovely park in its own right, with trees, ponds and a historic tower, and it is easy to reach from the centre by bus or metro and a short walk.
If you are searching for how to get to Copenhagen Zoo, use the public transport directions on your voucher; most visitors take a bus or the metro to Frederiksberg. Your entry ticket is valid for one day, so you can arrive early and leave when the animals and the children have had enough.
The Panda House and the Arctic Ring
The Panda House is one of the zoo's biggest attractions. The building is a modern habitat designed as a Chinese-inspired landscape for giant pandas, and it is a highlight of any Copenhagen Zoo visit. The Arctic Ring, meanwhile, brings polar bears and other Arctic animals to life, with underwater viewing that lets you watch the bears swim.
If you are asking whether Copenhagen Zoo is worth visiting, the pandas alone convince most families, and you can see them in a naturalistic setting that is also friendly to the animals.
The Elephant House and animals from around the world
The Elephant House is a striking building designed by a leading international architect, and it shows the elephants in a modern setting with plenty of room. Around the park you will find big cats, primates, giraffes, birds and reptiles, grouped by region so the walk through the park feels like a small trip around the world.
More than 4,000 animals live at the zoo, so there is something new at every turn. Feeding times and talks are held at different enclosures through the day, and it is worth checking the schedule on arrival.
Planning your visit
Allow four to five hours for a relaxed visit. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a light rain jacket, since Danish weather changes quickly. Food and drink are not included in the ticket, but there are cafes and picnic areas in the park.
The zoo is best visited on a weekday or in the morning, when the animals are most active and the paths are quieter. It works for all ages, and there are playgrounds for younger children. Opening hours change by season, so check the booking panel.
