As twilight falls, the magic begins…
It will not be dark and gloomy in Cologne this winter. The Christmas Garden brings light into the dark season – both actually and figuratively – and invites you to take a deep breath and enjoy the anticipation of Christmas in peace and quiet. In contrast to the usual, crowded Christmas markets, the Christmas Garden Köln is a pre-Christmas oasis where friends, couples and the whole family can spend an evening in an atmospheric and festive atmosphere. The Christmas Garden takes you on an approximately 2 km long circular walk through the popular Kölner Zoo with numerous glittery illuminations into a magical Christmas world.
Last winter, around 950,000 visitors came to this winterly, enchanting highlight in Berlin’s Botanical Garden, Schloss & Park Pillnitz in Dresden, Münster’s Allwetterzoo, the Wilhelma in Stuttgart and the Royal Botanical Garden in Madrid. The Christmas Garden is now also coming to the Kölner Zoo as a Christmas destination. Anyone who wants to end the magical winter walk in comfort can treat themselves to delicious hot food and drinks on the romantic circular path or take a winter ride on the nostalgic carousel.
