Tierpark Hagenbeck is Hamburg's main zoo — a 25-hectare park with roughly 530 species, still family-operated since its 1907 opening. It pioneered the now-common zoo design of open, moat-bordered enclosures rather than bars, a model copied by zoos worldwide.
The zoo and its separate Tropen-Aquarium (tropical aquarium) are two independently-priced products — a standard zoo ticket does not include the aquarium, and vice versa. A combined ticket covering both is also sold.
What to See: Top Highlights
Open Enclosures
Naturalistic, moat-separated habitats rather than cages — the design Hagenbeck pioneered and exported worldwide.
Wide Species Range
Around 530 species across the 25-hectare park, from big cats to elephants to primates.
Tropen-Aquarium (separate ticket)
A tropical aquarium on the same site, sold as its own ticket or bundled into a combined Zoo + Aquarium ticket.
