Wir hatten einen richtig tollen Tag im Heidelberger Zoo! 🦁🐒🐧 Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt und gut gepflegt. Besonders gefallen haben uns die Affen, die Pinguine und natürlich die majestätischen Löwen. Auch die Elefantenanlage war tollund die Tierpfleger wirken sehr engagiert. Für Kinder gibt es viel zu entdecken, von spannenden Gehegen bis hin zum Streichelzoo. Man merkt, dass der Zoo sich Mühe gibt, die Tiere artgerecht zu halten und gleichzeitig den Besuchern viel Wissenswertes zu vermitteln. Ein absolut lohnenswertes Ausflugsziel – wir kommen bestimmt wieder! 🌿✨
