Wild Park at Schloss Tambach is a rather popular attraction in the town. I can understand popularity due to just the amount of species the park holds. The animals vary from wolves to moose. If you go during off season, due to the park being so large, you won't have any issues with people interrupting your bonding time with the animals.
A special highlight of this wildlife park is the flight demonstrations they do in the summer. They offer workshops on falconry & also an opportunity to take pictures with these stunning birds. Another unique aspect is the opportunity to sponsor an animal. Once a year they will organize for you to receive information regarding your "godchild" from the zookeeper and you will also have the opportunity to see behind the scenes of your "godchild".
The hundreds of deer that roam freely is another highlight of the park. Many of the deer will curiously approach you in pure wonder & innocence. I had to suppress my delight when this happened to us while walking through the woods.
It will give you that overwhelming feeling that I imagine the characters in Jurassic Park felt when they walked into the pasture as dinosaurs roamed. Sure, deer are not as epic as dinosaurs, but when you see hundreds of them in a lush, mossy green pasture with a palace in the background you will surely feel as if you have seen beauty for the first time.
If you're lucky, you may be able to also observe the zookeepers taking data on the wolves or another species. You can watch them recording & overhear them talking about the packs & referring to them by names. How intriguing is that?

Afterwards you can feed the rams and enjoy the park or trampoline area with your children. In addition, the park features a beirgarten. They will even arrange a picnic for you to have elsewhere in the park if you would like to be near a particular animal exhibition. The connecting ticket booth sells stuffed toys of the animals, mugs, coloring books, & t-shirts too; so grab a souvenir to remember your favorite animal.
