On the outskirts of the Mainz district of Gonsenheim lies the wildlife park – a popular local recreational destination that has delighted both young and old animal lovers since the 1950s. In the forested area, visitors can observe native wildlife such as deer, mouflons, and wild boars, as well as goats, ducks, guinea pigs, and various bird species.
Many animals can be fed by hand – special feed pellets are available from a vending machine. Especially the friendly goats and the fallow deer are a highlight for children, who can enjoy direct contact with the animals. The wildlife park is open year-round, and admission is free. Benches and natural paths make walking through the park pleasant and relaxing.
Whether for a quick stop or a family outing: The wildlife park offers animal encounters in a peaceful, nature-friendly environment – right in the greenery and yet easily accessible.
