The highlight of our eighth day of our holiday was Wismar Zoo. So much to experience! The weather seems to be holding up too. Come on Mum, let’s go and see some new animals and learn something. We’ve already been to the harbour in Wismar and it looks like we can experience something here without too many people.
Map
But let’s take a look at a map first:
What’s that? Aren’t those the things I chase through the forest? What are those deer that we don’t have at home?
Deer
Ah here are the funny creatures that run so fast.
Bison
Oh er… I don’t think I need to be any closer to these colossi! Mum’s next enclosure.
Mouse parlour
Huh? Mum always wants to get rid of them and they have a luxury hotel here?
Take a look! Mice eating breakfast! That’s so dangerous! I want to too!
But why look at something like this in a zoo? There’s also something like that in the forest! And what about the rain! I’m getting all wet!
Ferret
Oh how cute a whole family and one of them looks like me!
Hello friend, I’m really nice too!
Wow are they long! Imagine you had such a long body! High five bro!
Excavator
We can dig here! Definitely!
Why do I feel locked in?
Cool the construction machine is exactly our size.
I am a proud excavator driver!
Rabbits
Honey, look at the hares! They certainly make a good snack!
I want you!
Oh, it’s hiding!
Uh a rabbit in the nest and one doing tunneling work.
Uncle Lucien! This is not a menu!

Kangaroos
Here we were able to observe the kangaroos. Marsupials from Australia! They must have traveled quite a long way.
I somehow imagined them to be bigger.
And then my mum was away and we were supposed to relax?
Parrots and budgerigars
People have birds…
Look how colorful they are!
Goats
Hä… Have I grown so much or have the goats shrunk?
Hello friends! Come here! I’ll protect you and bring you safely to the stable!
But don’t be cheeky now!
Oh, you’re on the wrong side! You have to get back quickly before the humans realise!
Oh, the goats are allowed to run free here!
Prairie dogs
What the hell is this?! A rabbit hutch?
Oh, they’re supposed to be Unde? They don’t look like me at all!
Chickens
I wish I was a chicken… don’t you? I don’t think so if I’m taken into protective custody for my own safety.
But they are beautiful.
Runner ducks
Exciting! Ducks that you can herd! Try them out right away. Come on Lucien!
Sheep
What do you want me to do with you? Mum sure they’re friendly?
Valais Blacknose Sheep
Wow, they are pretty! Can I take the lamb with me, Mum?
Exactly, that one at the back!
Lynxes
This is where the lynx live. They are very dangerous big cats. Good thing they have a fence!
It goes back
Already over? And the rain has only just stopped. Mum, stop moaning about wet feet! We have them every day!
Break
Then we drove back to our hostel and – also due to the weather – we all just lay down to rest. With Collie, holidays are stressful! After that you need a holiday from your holiday!
Rating Wismar Zoo
What an adventure! We met so many new animals!
Journey
The walk to the zoo was very nice.
Experience
We made so many new friends and saw so many other animals! Definitely worth a visit!
Dog suitability
The zoo is totally dog-friendly. Perhaps not for dog-walkers who like to herd or hunt free-roaming animals.
