Zoo visiting as an unaccompanied child?

Where on the websites (I assume) of zoos have you been able to find this information? I have looked on the websites of the Berlin collections and of Warsaw Zoo and haven't been able to find an age limit.

I found it on the page that displays the different prices depending on age.
 
I have now visited several zoos by myself (including Tiergarten Schonbrunn in Vienna today) so I thought I would update you all. There are no problems whatsoever and I haven't (yet) had anyone mind my going around by myself. Just a warning to any young zoochatters who want to try going around a zoo by yourself: you will get some funny looks if you go around photographing construction areas, signage and off-show areas while making copious notes in a notebook and muttering to yourself about how annoying meerkats are. ;)

That said, so do the older ones who do that :p

Whats wrong with Meerkats:confused::eek::p:rolleyes:;)?
 
Lets start with the fact that you can now see them in farm parks and bird of prey centres,so I now have no escape from them anywhere!:mad:

Then you can try annoying car adverts,and the Lion king and if you are still having trouble,all I can say is you are just SIMPLES:p

I know, I was joking (although St Andrews Aquarium has them!(A desert animal at an aquarium?!?)) :D
 
Today, I visited Birdworld and Underwaterworld in Surrey who advertise prominently outside the door that those under the age of 16 have to be accompanied by an adult, and although I am only 15, I was able to go. I just explained truthfully without lying over my age or anything like that and the person at the entrance allowed the rules to be bent slightly :).

And having recently been to the best bird zoo in the world, how did your visit to the Walsrode of the Home Counties compare?

Compared to Walsrode... well, it doesn't compare to Walsrode. However, looking at it as a small collection of birds with a few nice exhibits, quite nice grounds and one or two rarities. It's a nice little zoo and I enjoyed my day there. :)
 
The website says 12 and under need adult supervision so you should be fine.
Correct; the AGBs state the same: EINTRITTSBEDINGUNGEN UND TIERPARK-ORDNUNG, IV. Eintritt (3).

So, have fun.
 
Little piece of advice: there's a youth hostel close to Berlin central station / Hauptbahnhof called A & O Hostel. Dreadful place, full of noisy teenagers and bored, inexperienced staff. Next to the elevator on the ground floor, you can find free discount vouchers for the Aquarium, Tierpark and Zoo, as well as for other attractions. And since you're a teenager, you can easily sneak in through the crowds of noisy teenagers, without arousing suspicion. ;)
Is this still a thing? It'd be very nice to know for my next visit :D
 
Thanks guys for the info. I might be going on a family trip to Berlin soon and was hoping to fit in both parks and the aquarium. My family with go to the Berlin Zoo and Aquarium with me but I'll have to hit the Tierpark on my own.

They’re all really cool, and easily accessible on public transport. It’s a real shame you won’t see Aquadom though, that was impressive.

ignore all the funny looks! it's so fun to see young people (i myself am on the """younger side""" at 20) so engaged with the subject. glad you've been able to visit places without issue and glad that folks are understanding.

I'm doing the opposite to you soon also. I felt as though I'd be quite daunted doing the Tierpark by myself due to it's just sheer size and number of species to see.
