The park it self opened as a peoples park in 3rd July 1898, but the first animal first arrived in the beginning of the 1950s with the moose Prinsen (the prince). The most popular animal though was the Giant Panda Jin Jin that visitet the zoo in 1986. Since 1954 the zoo takes an entrance fee.

Outside again we turn left and se the fishing cat and the Sumatran tiger. Across we find Asian small.clawed otters as well as gibbons. Then following the enclosure of the sand cat and turn right to se the Meerkat. Behind we are having the mini zoo, a sort of petting zoo with free running alpacas and other farm animals. Inside we also are having the childrens reptile house. Going back to the meerkats and then turning right we se red-necked wallabies. Accross are drills, L'Hoest's monkey and red-bellied lemurs. Then we see Amur leopards to the left and cheetahs to the right. Behind them we find the Alaotra gentle lemur, giant otters and pygmy hippos. Then we go inside the Amazoonas, a tropical house with crocodiles, tamarins and a lot of other fascinating creatures. Outside again we se the jaguar. Turning right at the yellow-breasted capuchin we have a large pampas with South American tapirs and capybaras. Across we find the maned wolfes, pudus and giant anteaters. Then we look at flamingos.
