The Allwetterzoo Münster is not only one of the best-known zoos in Germany, but also one of the most beautiful. And when the weather throws a spanner in the works for visitors at other zoos, many animals can be observed on dry feet at the Allwetterzoo.
Where else in Münsterland can you feed elephants or accompany penguins on a walk than at the Allwetterzoo? The zoo in the cathedral city is now even known nationwide for its closeness to animals. Not least, 100 episodes of the ARD series "Penguin, Lion & Co." have contributed to the fact that Bavarian or Saxon cars are increasingly parked in front of the zoo. Around 600,000 visitors are attracted to the all-weather zoo every year.
The Allwetterzoo has even more to offer than approx. 3,000 animals and a good 300 animal species. The Westphalian Horse Museum in the middle of the zoo is unique. The museum, which is well worth seeing, is dedicated to the natural and cultural history of the horse. On an area of 1,000 square metres, visitors are invited on a voyage of discovery through the permanent exhibition. Highly frequented special exhibitions, such as "Photographer of the year 2019", are the highlights of the museum's programme. Horses in action can be experienced in the neighbouring "Hippomaxx" arena.
The seal harbour also promises a lot of action. Several times a day, the Californian sea lions perform here. Admission to the Allwetterzoo also includes access to the Westphalian Horse Museum and the Seal Haven.

The climate has an impact on the earth and on us humans, and this is precisely what the special exhibition at the LWL Museum of Natural History is about. Guests are taken on a journey through the past, present and future on 1,000 square metres and can become active climate researchers themselves. The exhibition appeals to all the senses and offers interesting facts for young and old.

The name panda is Nepali and means "bamboo eater" - the favourite food of the small mammals. But the odd piece of fruit is also part of the menu.

The Californian sea lions at the Seal Haven are happy to show off their amazing skills in a show.
It's never boring for the sea lions thanks to the shows and training sessions. Guests at the show certainly won't be bored either. In addition to breathtaking feats in an idyllic setting, the animal keepers tell exciting stories about the animals' origins.
