Best giant panda enclosure in Western Europe

[Tiger]

For a long time I wanted to make a Poll about a certain species, and I was looking for a species that is rare in Europe, but which can be competed and debated about it. This is how I came up with a very beautiful animal that, unfortunately, is not very popular on Zoochat: the giant panda. I only include Western and Southern Europe because there is an unfortunate lack of photos of zoos in Northern (Denmark, Finland), Eastern Europe (Russia) or Southern Europe (Spain). Vote for your favorite, and don't just take your home zoo. Here are the candidates+photos:
Pairi Daiza (Belgium):
Female:

Male:

Young Adult (Tian Bao):

Ouwehands Zoo (The Netherlands):
Outdoor:

Indoor:

Enclosures of male and female are equal or similar to each other
Zoo(logischer Garten) Berlin (Germany):
Female:

Male:

ZooParc de Beuaval (France):
Indoor (2 exhibits):

Outdoor (2 exhibits):

Edinburgh Zoo (United Kingdom):
Male:

Female:

Tiergarten Schönbrunn (Austria):
Outdoor:

Indoor:

These are the candidates, please let me know if I forgot a zoo.

or at least pictures of it

Speaking of which, I'd at least give credit if he pictures are from ZC.

As you can read at the beginning of my post, I left Southern Europe (Spain, Italy,...) out of the poll, only Western and Central Europe are in the poll, so Madrid is not either, although I could not imagine how Madrid could win.

I have to say that the Beauval's pictures don't show really how the outdoor enclosures are (they are much more lushy).
Note that I don't say this exhibit is my prefered

Could it that Copenhagen is out of this region?

'I only include Western Europe because there is an unfortunate lack of photos of zoos in Northern (Denmark, Finland), Eastern Europe (Russia) and Southern Europe (Spain).' This comes frome my original post.
Like you can read is Denmark not incuded, so Copenhagen is not in the game.

Berlin is the clear winner for me. Ouwehands has the better indoor enclosure, but Berlin has multiple, very large and naturalistic outdoor enclosures, compared to ouwehands, which is clearly lacking in climbing equipment. Edinburgh’s and Pairi daiza’s indoor exhibits look horrible!

For me it's Ouwehands. I only saw Copenhagen, Pairi daiza and Ouwehands in real life to be fair. I don't know if it's helpful but I added some of Copenhagen's enclosure pictures. It was decent but it's a bit on the smaller side. Aesthetically Copenhagens was nice it was in the shape of a ying yang symbol. Inside bare minimum but due to the weather they can live outside year long.

I may still make my own thread about pandas in European / world zoos at a later date but I see this thread is similar.

I don’t think your pictures of the Edinburgh enclosure are the fairest because you haven’t got the female enclosure outside nor the main part of the male enclosure (that photo is round the back where you can’t see much).

In any case my interest in this thread is because in recently went to Berlin Zoo to see the new cubs & I was highly impressed, I liked all the Chinese themed furniture / pagoda and the music too was nice, plus the windows make the pandas easy to see.

I did love the Edinburgh panda enclosure when the pandas were there (it was particularly nice being on top of the hill so it was very peaceful up there) but since visiting Berlin Zoo shows what Edinburgh could have achieved and perhaps missed out slightly.

I did like with Berlin Zoo that there was mutiple viewing points too , no doubt I bet in summer it is very busy though, I did feel though the Edinburgh enclosure was perhaps slightly more intimate being up the hilltop & that they close the area off at certain times.
