Overview
- Testberichte.de aggregated roughly two million public Google reviews across 370 zoos, wild parks, bird parks, aquaria and comparable sites, including only places with at least 100 reviews and breaking ties by review counts.
- Vogelpark Marlow leads with a 4.8-star average, while Naturschutz-Tierpark Görlitz places second with a 4.8 rating from nearly 6,800 reviews, a result its director Sven Hammer publicly celebrated.
- Bird and wild parks dominate the upper tier of the list, with Zoo Leipzig ranking inside the top ten as the highest-placed traditional urban zoo.
- Regional standouts include Wildpark Poing at No. 12 with 4.7 stars, plus Baden-Württemberg’s Mundenhof (No. 14), Wildpark Bad Mergentheim (No. 16) and Wildpark Pforzheim (No. 17).
- The nationwide average across all facilities is 4.45 stars with the lowest at 3.6, and coverage cautions that Google-based rankings can be skewed by review deletions and differing visitor expectations.
