Tiger-Garten Waldeck e. V.

When the Groß-Gerauer Safari Park closed its doors in 1984, Peter Schweikhard was bottle-feeding two tiger cubs.

After the park went bankrupt, the cubs simply stayed in Ingelheim. The nonprofit association was founded in 2006. In 2007, the first tiger cub was born. Currently, seven Bengal tigers live at Tiger-Garten Waldeck. During opening hours, visitors can admire the animals free of charge from a distance of 4 meters, Wednesday through Sunday.
