One of our favorite things to do is going to the zoo. Not a particular one, we like to see different ones.
The Zoo at Duisburg has one of the nicest arrangements of displaying animals I've seen yet. They try to cohabit groups of animals that 'work well together'. True, lions might opt to be cohabited with the bisons, but that ain't gonna happen I guess...

Burgers' Zoo is our first and, until now, only Dutch Zoo. Located at Arnhem, it's got a rather decent layout. What's really spectacular about that Zoo is the fact, that they have both a tropical house and a desert house, the desert house copying the Sonora Desert...which makes it especially interesting for us.

The Cologne Zoo (Kölner Zoo) is one of our favorites. For one thing, they have a huge elephant house with a sizeable herd...yet enough space for them. For another, it's right on our front door, less than 25 minutes door to door if everything works out...and we hold a season ticket.... :)

...and another trip to the Cologne Zoo (Kölner Zoo). Yes, we've only been there six weeks ago, but they had so many newborns this year...plus we hold a season ticket, we figured we ought to drop by. And what a perfect day we had. Very active animals, our first ever, rather impressive, elephant stampede (wow. and...loud!!) plus the Red-crowned Crane chicks? Compare the pics to six weeks ago, trust me...
