While the top spots go to well-known parks, there are several lesser-known facilities that deserve recognition. These include the Wolfspark Werner Freund in Merzig, Tierpark Kunsterspring in Neuruppin, and the Tierpark Tannenkamp Wolgast, all praised for their high visitor ratings above 4.5. These parks often offer a less crowded experience than the biggest zoos. The Tierpark Hellabrunn in Munich is also highly praised for its naturalistic, spacious enclosures and immersive experience with species such as Alpine ibex and polar bears.
