What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Tierpark Hexentanzplatz offers a mixed experience, with many praising the included unlimited mini-golf and the scenic surroundings. While the zoo itself is noted for its focus on local wildlife and ongoing renovations, some visitors find the enclosures aged and the zoo portion alone to be pricey. It's best viewed as a combination attraction where mini-golf and nature walks are key highlights.
"Four stars for a great miniature golf course. I was a bit disappointed by the Tierpark. It's not very large and most of the enclosures are quite aged. ( renovations are in progress! )
If you are looking for a great miniature golf experience (it's included with the entry fee) and want to take a quick stroll on the side to see some local animals then it's a great place to go. If you are only looking for a Zoo experience with many different animals you will be disappointed."

"A lot of construction work is going on right now so I couldn't really see the real beauty of the main area.
We went to the zoo area with our Harz pass. I walked through it within an hour ( not worth the money it looks outdated and small cages )
Then we just walked around the area and found out you have a stunning area where you can walk near the cliffs"
Nathalie Kunst
"Ok for the price (Minigolf included in price as much as you want, otherwise too expensive I believe)... Alot of birds, especially owls and pheasants. Can get pretty close to the fox, wolves and lynx when they aren't hiding."
