The Wingster Waldzoo, previously known as the Zoo in der Wingst until the end of 2021, is situated in the Elbe-Weser triangle in Wingst, Lower Saxony. This location is a unique geographical feature, making it an interesting destination for tourists. The zoo houses a variety of both wild and domestic animals, some of which are kept in a petting zoo that was fully renovated in 2009.
The Wingster Waldzoo places a strong emphasis on being child-friendly and specializes in the keeping of monkeys and predators. In 2007, the zoo expanded its premises by adding a two-hectare wolf and bear forest. This expansion has allowed for a more diverse range of animals to be housed in the zoo, providing a more enriching experience for visitors.
Since 2017, the Wingster Waldzoo has been gradually implementing a thematic focus on forest areas of different continents. This unique approach allows visitors to experience a variety of habitats and the animals that inhabit them. The zoo was renamed to Wingster Waldzoo on January 1, 2022, reflecting its focus on forest habitats.
