Aalborg Zoo

Getting around: About 3km south of central Aalborg; reachable by city bus or a 10-minute taxi ride, with parking on site if driving.
Hours: Open daily, typically 9:00-17:00 with extended summer hours; check seasonal changes before visiting.

Aalborg Zoo is a mid-sized zoo with a strong focus on cold-climate and Nordic species alongside the usual international roster — polar bears, tigers, elephants, and a well-regarded Arctic Circle enclosure. It's compact enough to cover in a few hours without feeling rushed.

It's a solid family stop rather than a world-class zoo, and works well as a half-day addition to an Aalborg visit, especially with kids.
