Voted one of the best small zoos in Europe, Odense Zoo has a wide variety of unique attractions and is an easy 3.5-kilometer drive from the city.

 Here, you can get up-close with giraffes, watch tigers and lions, and see seals, chimps and penguins being fed.

In summer, you can even camp out for the night in the grounds (minimum four people) and get a behind-the-scenes guided tour.
