The world's first continent-arranged zoo (1928): Hellabrunn on the Isar banks — 19,000 animals in open habitats crossing pole to Africa to Asian jungle, with the historic domed elephant house. Feeding times (posted daily at the gate) are the liveliest moments — route around them; half a day is the family minimum with fish and vegetarian options inside; U3 to Thalkirchen then minutes walking beats driving and parking.
