Givskud Zoo Zootopia is not simply a zoo—it’s Denmark’s largest safari adventure, blending the excitement of a drive-through wildlife park with the educational mission of a modern zoological garden. Located on scenic countryside near Give, this sprawling park was founded in 1969 as a lion reserve. Over the decades, it expanded into a European leader for immersive animal experiences and conservation. The park’s expansive grounds invite visitors to explore by car, foot, or specially marked buses, encountering African giants like elephants, giraffes, zebras, and white rhinos roaming open grasslands and woodlands. One of the highlights is the adrenaline-charged lion territory, where you can safely drive through as these majestic predators lounge just meters away. Walk-through areas feature themes such as “Primate Island,” “South America,” and “North America,” where you can get close to gorillas, bison, and giant anteaters. Vast enclosures mimic natural habitats, designed so animals enjoy space to engage in natural behaviors. Givskud is equally committed to species preservation and education, championing breeding programs for endangered species and supporting global research efforts. Interactive educational stations, feeding shows, and keeper talks make the visit both entertaining and enlightening for families. For children, themed playgrounds, picnic zones, and unique dinosaur exhibits offer extra thrills. Facilities are wheelchair accessible, and a range of cafes and picnic areas makes it easy to spend a full day. The park’s year-round schedule includes special winter and Halloween events, adding to its family appeal. With over 50 species and the rare opportunity to observe animals as you would on an African safari, Givskud Zoo Zootopia stands as a must-visit attraction in Southern Jutland, delivering genuine adventure and insight into the animal world.
