A very large place with animals and plants across the globe. There are some extinct plants as well. Unfortunately due to winter conditions, some of the animals were in their shelters and I suggest a visit in a warmer season. It is so large that you might want to spare a whole day to see everything.

Very nice botanical garden and I loved the aquarium world as well! The zoo is also very nice, although we didn't had enough time to see the whole of it, coz in winter it closes at 1630 and we entered around 1400. But! We were there also for the Christmas Garden event and oh boy was it beautiful and well organised! Awesome lighting and sound, also many boots to get hot wine and food, very pleasant experience all together, would definitely recommend checking it out!

A definitively magical and beautiful place with both elements of botanical and zoological garden. Truly a timeless experience full of joy, surprises and inspiration on every step. Even though it takes me more than 4 hours to get there from Hanau, the time is well worth it and I will be coming back.

Huge place to visit, great value for money of you go on sight seeing. Wilhelma is both a botanical and a zoological garden with a great collection in both fauna. There are a lot of things to do for children (special places were they can climb and play) but as well as a lot of places to grab something to eat or a coffee or a … bear.

This is likely one of the most aesthetically pleasing zoos and botanical gardens I have ever visited, proudly wearing its history on its sleeve. Even though some of the enclosures could do with some improvements, in general it's a very well-kept collection of amazing animals; while the big crowd pleasers, like big cats, bears, great apes, pachyderms and crocodiles are certainly a big draw, their collection of birds is absolutely jaw-dropping, in terms of how many rare species there are to find.
