Givskud Løvepark (Lion park) is in my oppinion the best place in Denmark to wach wildlife. It is not a traditional Zoo. Basically a large area of farmland in the middle of Jylland (Jutland in English) has been fenced in. Here flocks of lions, Zebras, giraffes and so on live freely. (The area is divided a little to avoid bloodshed). You can drive through the area in your own car or take the bus. I recomend the bus. You get a good wiew and the driver will help you to notice everything that is going on.
In addition there is a smaller section designed like a traditional zoo.

The Zoo in København (Copenhagen) is big. It is old, but it has been expanded over the years and small old pens have been rebuild and expanded so the general standart today is good. They have all the traditional animals and in addition they have the reptile house, the butterfly house (an amazing place) and animals like the tapir (I hope that is its name in English as well). They have quite a lot of birds. Generally, you can spend most of the day there without having seen everything. It is, however, quite expensive to get in. To get there, you can take a bus from central Copenhagen. Ask at the Tourist Information.
