Zoo am Meer
Bremerhaven, Germany
About Zoo am Meer
Zoo am Meer in Bremerhaven sits right on the Weser and specialises in animals of the northern coasts and seas - polar bears, penguins, sea lions, fur seals, harbour seals, otters, raccoons and gannets - with public feedings through the day and keeper talks and animal training in the summer holidays. Most of the admission price carries a conservation euro that funds projects for threatened species. Mondays outside public holidays are a cheaper day for single tickets.
