Facts and practical information

The Kleve Zoo is a zoo in Kleve, Germany. It houses about 350 animals with a focus on mostly old, endangered domestic breeds. As part of the European Conservation Breeding Program, it also keeps kulans and lesser pandas. It is run by the Kleve Zoo Association. Since January 2021, Martin Polotzek, a qualified veterinarian, has been in charge of the 6-hectare park. With the new management, the park is also more committed to endangered wildlife: Thus, since 2021, maras and armadillos also live in the zoo. A species conservation day was also held for the first time in 2021.

A special feature of the 6-hectare family zoo is its closeness to the animals, with visitors able to feed most of the animals from their hands with food available in the park. Another highlight is the show feeding with the seals. A new master plan will determine the future direction of the park.

The Tiergarten borders on the Neuer Tiergarten park and can already be seen clearly from the street at the "Neuer Eiserner Mann" column statue.
