I could probably write a few pages about this place but will try and keep it down for qype…read more After seeing my old favourites, the Meerkats, near the entrance, I was sure they would be my highlight as usual. The zoo went about proving me wrong. This zoo does a couple of walk through enclosures. The kangaroos...well, they just squat there as far away from you as they can get. But the monkeys. They see you but mostly they just get on with their business of running around and fighting even right next to you. I guess the older monkeys are used to people, but the younger ones are still curious and will climb up next to you (but will flinch/fall over/run away if you move so much as a muscle) I couldn't believe how close they came, it was unbelievable and I could not get a photo because they were so nervous. What else was great? Well I was enjoying looking at the Rosenkopchen until I saw all the wasps sharing their fruit. I also enjoyed the unexpected fish tank in the giraffe house (random). There was a baby goat feeding area too like at Berlin Zoo. The animals don't half hassle you though..means you can't feed the cute little one. All this for 7E entry? OK it is a bit of a trek to get out here...but well worth it. With my 5 star review I am in no way endorsing this (http://www.toytowngermany.com/lofi/index.php/t72111.html)

Conveniently located between the city center and the Hochschule / Beutenberg, opposite a grocery…read morestore and next to a kebab place. Fair prices, easy to join, always very clean, and full of fun and friendly people. Foreigners welcome. Plenty of free-weights and bars, big windows, hot showers, a cross-fit area, lots of cardio machines... and even a tanning bed if you are into that. Best of all, it's open until midnight on weekdays and until 10 on weekends including Sunday, a rare treat in Jena. Recommended!
