Dusseldorf’s most renowned attraction, Aquazoo is a distinctive combination of zoo, aquarium, and natural history museum offering interactive experiences to visitors and residents of all ages. The Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum displays marine animals, freshwater creatures, rainforest and desert animals, as well as their habitats in 25 different themed enclosures. Through graphic exhibits and interactive media, the museum enables visitors to experience and understand the origin and evolution of diverse species of flora and fauna.
Opened in 1987 in North Park under the name ‘Löbbecke-Museum + Aquazoo’, the facility has since then been upgraded several times with new species added each year. The facility covers an area of 6800 m² and is home to 560 animal species presented in 80 aquariums, 60 terrariums and insectariums, and a tropical hall. The museum also houses a collection of around one million natural objects from biology, geology and paleontology, including rocks and fossils, a herbarium, and other specimens and models of various animal groups.
Organizing events and displaying unique exhibitions all year round, Aquazoo is a perfect spot for outings with friends or family. The museum also arranges guided tours, lessons, workshops, and live feedings allowing visitors to get up and close with animals with the goal of motivating them to protect nature. Various events are also organized throughout the year including the Memento Mori exhibition, Valentine's Eve (Valentinsabend) at the Aquazoo, Nachhaltiges Familienfest, etc.
