It has occurred to me that despite being here for two years and writing my blog for the same amount of time, I haven't done a post about the Tierpark in Bielefeld, which is strange as it is definitely one of our favourite places to visit.
The Tierpark, which is open all year round, has a wide selection of animals, including birds, cows, brown bears and raccoons. The park is massive and a great place to go for a walk on a Sunday afternoon when you want to get out of the office before your Sunday roast.
The bears are a definite highlight, and visitors gather to watch them go about their daily business, although they do hibernate in the winter so you can only see them at certain times of the day.
There are a couple of good size play parks and a goat petting zoo.
If you keep an eye out in the local news, you might be able to catch some of the events that go on at the Tierpark, the last time we saw a puppet show.
There is a great restaurant on-site which has a brilliant play-area, which we didn't see the first couple of times we went. The restaurant has a good selection of food and drinks, if you are visiting why not try out a bowl of warming milchreis washed down with a good cup of coffee?
