It's feeding time at the zoo! If you want to be reminded of some of the great animals our world is home to, you might want to pay a trip to ZOOM Erlebniswelt, located 2.4 mi (3.9 km) from central Gelsenkirchen. If you have fun at ZOOM Erlebniswelt, you'll love Cranger Kirmes and Ruhr Museum, both located nearby.
You can study the exhibits at Red Dot Design Museum, a museum with a storied past, during your trip to Essen. Take in the theater scene while you're in the area.
