Wildpark Reuschenberg

The Reuschenberg Wildlife Park in Leverkusen is a recommended destination for anyone who wants to experience nature and animals up close. Covering an area of around 60,000 square metres, it is home to over 300 animals from around 46 species. In addition to native wild animals such as foxes, lynxes, otters and tawny owls, you will also find numerous domestic animals such as goats, sheep and alpacas. The enclosures are spacious and designed to be close to nature, so that when you walk through the park, you quickly feel as if you are in the middle of the countryside.

Families with children in particular will get their money's worth here: a large playground invites them to romp around, the petting area allows the little ones to experience goats and alpacas up close, and feeding machines provide suitable food to feed some of the animals directly. Numerous picnic and rest areas as well as a bistro with a terrace offer opportunities for breaks and round off the visit perfectly.

In addition to its recreational value, Reuschenberg Wildlife Park is strongly committed to environmental education and species conservation. The zoo school provides exciting lessons about animals and their habitats, and the park participates in breeding programmes for endangered species. The park's sponsorship is also particularly noteworthy: it is run by an integration company that creates jobs for people with and without disabilities – a wonderful example of how nature conservation, leisure and social commitment can be combined.

The park is open all year round, easily accessible and, thanks to its manageable size, ideal for a half-day trip. If you want to observe animals in a natural environment, enjoy a relaxing walk in the countryside and learn something new at the same time, Reuschenberg Wildlife Park is a worthwhile destination.
