Summer in Copenhagen Zoo

Give biodiversity a helping hand and create your own seed bombs using a special mix designed for Danish pollinators. Plant them on the playground, your balcony, or on your way to school—and create green oases for bees and butterflies.

At Zoolab, you can get close to the fascinating leopard gecko, which lives in desert regions of Asia. Our Zoo Guide will share insights into its unique tail and even show you the “air conditioning system” it carries in its head. At the entrance to Zoolab, you’ll also meet the small but hardworking leafcutter ants, guiding you further inside.

Become a pollinator for a day and buzz through our giant flower game board like a hoverfly on a mission! Pollinate as many flowers as you can and discover just how important you are to nature. Can you finish before the sun sets?

Meet pigs, horses, llamas and cows, visit the small rabbits, and pet the goats. If there’s a budding zookeeper in the family, the activities in the Kids' Zoo offer plenty of chances to try tools like shovels and brooms. On the Kids' Zoo Stage, you can even join a real “poo quiz” and guess which animal left which droppings.

Pick up the free activity booklet at the entrance and join The Zoo Mission. Explore, discover, run and play your way through the Zoo—and become a true Nature Hero who helps protect the world’s animals and nature.

When the sun is out, the chimpanzees are often outside in their new enclosure — and it’s well worth a visit. Watch them climb, play and enjoy the warmth up close.

Elephant births in zoos are rare, but in March, Mun gave birth to a male calf, surrounded by the other females in the herd. When the weather is nice, you can see the elephants outside – and the little one is hard to miss.

If the weather isn’t on your side, Copenhagen Zoo offers plenty to explore indoors – from Tropical House to Zoolab.
