Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum

The Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum in the Nordpark is a special blend of aquarium and natural history museum and one of the most popular excursion destinations for families in Düsseldorf. In numerous tanks and terrariums as well as a tropical hall, visitors experience the full diversity of the animal kingdom: from tiny insects and brightly coloured corals through jellyfish, crocodiles and penguins to elegant sharks. The living animals are complemented by museum-style exhibition areas that vividly explain evolution, habitats and adaptation. In this way the house combines wonder and learning in an ideal manner and delights children and adults alike.

Aquarium and natural history combined

What is special about the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum is the close connection between living animals and museum-style didactic exhibition. As you wander through the tanks and terrariums, accompanying areas explain themes such as evolution, habitats and adaptation. So you do not only see the animals but also understand how and why they live as they do. This mix makes the visit instructive without ever feeling dry.

From corals to sharks

The range of creatures on show is impressive: it reaches from tiny insects and shimmering corals through jellyfish, frogs and crocodiles to penguins and elegant sharks. In the tropical hall you immerse yourself in a warm, humid climate, while in the large aquariums schools of fish glide past. This diversity ensures that both small and grown-up visitors keep finding something new to discover.

Tips for your visit

The Aquazoo lies in the middle of the Nordpark, making it an ideal destination for a family day that can be combined comfortably with a park visit or the Japanese Garden. At weekends and during the holidays it can get crowded, so an early start is advisable. Anyone wanting to observe the animals at leisure should allow plenty of time for the tour through the many stations.
