Terrariet Vissenbjerg - The rainforest - Crocodile exhibit

One of two similar exhibits housing Philippine crocodiles. The exhibit was originally built for Cuban crocodiles.

In 2014, Vissenbjerg completely rebuilt its entrance hall, turning it into a tiny tropical house dubbed "the rainforest". Despite the limited area, it's a very well-done house. There's a good selection of free-ranging animals as well as three minor exhibits.

Terrariet Vissenbjerg is one of only two reptile zoos in Denmark, the other one being Krokodille Zoo. The two reptile zoos supplement each other well, as Krokodille Zoo chiefly focuses on crocodilians with relatively few species of other reptiles, while Terrariet Vissenbjerg has loads of lizards, snakes and tortoises, but only one species of crocodilian. Beyond the reptiles, Vissenbjerg also keeps a handful of different mammals, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, as well as one species of bird.

Terrariet Vissenbjerg is located in the outskirts of the Funen town also called Vissenbjerg. If you have your own car, it can easily be combined on a day trip with Frydenlund Fuglepark which is only 15 minutes' drive away.
