- Keith KBrighton, MI384 contributionsWe absolutely loved Old Town with its awesome shops, clean streets, delicious restaurants, and history everywhere.

- Win JDublin, Ireland6 contributionsBeautiful spacious gallery. The permanent collection is extensive and engaging. We visited on a second day to spend time at the current engrossing Hodler exhibition. A significant feature is the gallery’s research to verify the provenance of all donations in order to ensure that none of the exhibits were looted during the Nazi persecution.Written March 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel637891574071 contributionOk my German is bad so this is in English.
I have been twice to your zoo and yes I am impressed by the size, beauty and the facilities for the animals. It is well laid out and thoughtful towards the animals needs and I am giving you points for the knowledge and work gone into the whole facility.
However I have a complaint about the humans. More specifically the amount of children that are allowed to be running around squeaking and acting like animals themselves and causing more stress and not learning. I am not going to try to tell you your business but the fact that you have placed play areas in almost every corner and also there seems to be no singular children's area to keep them in. It takes the whole experience down because of the constant yelling and pushing.
With facilities like this would it not be better to restrict the amount of child groups entering and Also children with adults could also be restricted to a certain age because I don't think that any child under the age of 3 is going to understand what an elephant truly is unless it is painted blue and wearing a tshirt and waving alphabet letters at them.
I am not the person who has seemed to have mentioned this but you do not seem to be taking any notice so here is a review from someone outside the country who is visiting yours.Written April 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
