Travelers with children should definitely visit the Zoo Duisburg. It does not have an impressive scale, but it offers visitors the opportunity to admire rare exotic animals. In the zoo, there are typical representatives of the African fauna, inhabitants of the faraway rainforests, children’s beloved- monkeys, as well as a large pavilion with birds. There is also a small aquarium on the territory of the zoo, where one can watch tropical fish and other mysterious inhabitants of the sea depths. Among other interesting features of the zoo, is worth noting the presence of a Chinese garden with very nice gazebos, and playgrounds equipped for kids.
Among the museums of Duisburg which are worth visiting with children, it is worth highlighting the Museum der Deutschen Binnenschifffahrt. Its exposition is devoted to the history of navigation. Some of its exhibits are located in an indoor pavilion, and the other part - in the open air. Children will definitely like to look at models of old ships. They will also be able to see a collection of bottles with ship letters and, under the guidance of the guide, even read some notes of sailors. An obligatory part of the excursion is a walk through the old ships, which after many years are still in excellent condition.
