    Hiking

    The modern Rio Negro tropical hall, which opened in 2005, is connected to the zoo's oldest building, the aquarium, via a connecting tunnel.

    The Rio Negro tropical hall represents a section of the wildlife of South America. The central element of the tropical hall is the large, naturally designed pool for the unique Amazon river dolphins. Through huge panes up to 12 m long, visitors can observe the dolphins and various fish species of the South American rivers in their underwater world.

    Hiking

    The aquarium is the oldest building at Duisburg Zoo and boasts a surprising array of aquatic creatures. Various themed pools—from the Amazon rivers to tropical waters—present the underwater diversity.

    Three manatees, also known as sea cows, live here.

    The Rio Negro Tropical Hall covers an area of almost 1,000 square meters and is home to many endangered animals. Visitors can view the aquatic world through an 18-meter-long glass panel. They can also explore the treetops from a hut. With a little luck, you might also see free-roaming monkeys, sloths, and small anteaters.
