I'm actually not a huge fan of zoos, I feel sorry for the captured animals, but it was 10 am and the nearby Cisterns (recommended to see!) were not open until 11 am so I came to the zoo to pass the time till then, with my Copenhagen Pass. The Zoo is laid out very well and all the areas and animals are clean and comfortable. Good place for kids, of course! (I went in August 2019.) I saw many animals up close, like lions, giraffes, polar bears, otters, elephants, etc. One panda was napping on a rock far off so didn't see it close.
