Copenhagen Zoo 1995 - The old main entrance and the historic zoo tower

Scanned photo from my visit in June 1995.

The old main entrance and the historic zoo tower. A new one was built a few years later.

Ah yes, I vaguely remember the old entrance as a very uncomfortable place to stand in line on a hot summers day

Thank you for posting all of these historic shots Baldur. Let me know if you find yourself in Copenhagen again and I will give you a tour of the zoo

To be honest, I find the old entrance to have had more charm than the gigantic black glass-covered monster they built to replace it. But maybe it's just me and my nostalgia

I'll let you know for sure. My brother is studying now at the University of Copenhagen (Master's in Economics) so now I have two reasons instead of one to return (guess three times what the other reason is! )

The old entrance may have had more charm but it was imensely impractical for pretty much every purpose

I take charming over impractical any day (provided I don't have to work or live in it, selfish me! )
