"The 28-hectare Kaisergarten at Schloss Oberhausen is great. I was there for the first time today and I have to say I am delighted. There is the largest free animal park in the Ruhr area. The entire Kaisergarten Park is beautifully landscaped. With small lakes, large meadows, many trees, playgrounds, a herbal garden, an animal park, as well as a sales pavilion, the animal park is a guarantee for a great cost-effective day trip. In good weather, the park attracts many families, couples, friends, pensioners, walkers, joggers and dog owners to the park. No wonder, because this vast park is really something for young and old. Around 500 animals are kept and bred in 25 mammalian species and breeds and 45 bird species and breeds. In addition to rare domestic wildlife such as Northern Luchs, Wolf or Capricorn, visitors will be presented with a variety of domestic animals. In addition, the wild ancestor of these pets can be observed in generous, beautifully landscaped enclosures. (see picture gallery of my uploaded pictures Opening hours: January December 9:00 17:00 (in summer 9.00 19:00 Today: 13.02.2011, the animal garden was open longer than 17:00. At about 40 seats and tables, which are covered, you can really picnic. For the fact that the animal park is public, it is more than plucked and although the zoo was very well visited I did not see a paper lying on the floor. So for hygiene the zoo gets a 1 from me in any case. Especially great was that the animals were very suspicious, so that you could caress and feed a lot of animals (but only with wild food or carrots. So, if you prefer to go there with small children, you should take a few carrots in a quiet place, the animals can easily be attracted better: . Parking is also available so that you can go over the A42 as it is near the park. However, when returning from the animal park to the A42, there is a lightning set!! In this way, however, such a favourable family excursion can end up expensive. Today's visit was my first one, but he will certainly not be the last. Source: [here link] 13.02.2011"
