Our check
What we established Cologne Zoo: the official site is koelnerzoo.de. Its tickets are sold on shop.koelnerzoo.de, part of the same site. Its Wikidata entry, Q529586, names the same official site. Added to our site on .
What our tests checked We last tested the ticket link on : it answered over a secure connection and the page it opens offers tickets. That shows the link works; on its own, it does not prove who runs the site. We last read koelnerzoo.de for this page on .
