Duisburg Zoo was founded in 1934 and stays open on public holidays and at Christmas. Its large adventure playground, with a pirate ship and a slide tower, sits right next to the restaurant, so parents can take a break while the children play. Most of the zoo is barrier-free, visitors with a severe disability marked B or H get a free day ticket for their companion, and the zoo guides offer tailored help for seniors, people with Alzheimer’s and blind visitors. On weekdays a cheaper after-work ticket applies from late afternoon, though not on public holidays. One cost to plan around: tickets bought at the day ticket counter carry a service fee of €1 each.
