  • 1. Zoom Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen
    The ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen, founded on April 14, 1949, as Ruhr-Zoo, is one of the most modern zoological gardens in Germany. It was founded on a heavily shelled area besides a port at Rhein-Herne-Kanal. First size was 15.5 hectares. First years animals were changing often, because they were provided by an animal trader. Now the park is owned by the City of Gelsenkirchen via GEW – Gesellschaft für Energie und Wirtschaft mbH, After 2004 the park was enlarged to the present size. It is especially well known for its panoramas and cultural approach. The main attractions are big animals, mostly mammals; the zoo has no aquarium house, insectarium or other facilities prone to smaller animals. The number prior to 2005 reflects average visitor frequency of the old Ruhr-Zoo.
