Zoologisches Museum

This museum was really amazing. It reminded me of the Natural History Museum in NYC, but without the barriers between you and the animals. You could get really close to the preserved animals and it made for a very interesting experience that really gave you a better sense of what the animals are like (you don't realize how big a grizzly is until you stand up next to it).

Id read about this secret suggestion on Qype before and desided to take my Dutch friends here on a sundayafternoon. Perfect opportunity considering everything is closed on Sunday and its just near to my house...


Actually we wanted to go to the Hagenbeck Zoo, but it was already 3 oclock...And this museum is about animal watching as well...so why not?!


This museum is fantastic! The bird section is extremely funny, escpecially the German names. Not that the German language is funny, but more the comparison with the Dutch bird names...


The fact that all these animals arent real doesnt make it less entertaining..You can sit next to them, touch them (thats actually forbidden..), take some great photos and compare heights.


Last but not least, you dont have to pay entrance, which allows you to just enjoy a short hour of fun and education about animals and the past. Great activity for young and old! And a good laugh..if you go there with some friends.
