Jaderpark is a family-oriented zoo and amusement park located in Jaderberg, Lower Saxony, on the German North Sea coast. Founded in 1950 as a private zoo, the park has grown into a diverse leisure destination combining wildlife experiences with themed attractions and adventure playgrounds.

The park is divided into several distinct areas: a zoo with over 600 exotic animals, an amusement park with family rides, an adventure park featuring the enormous Grizzly Mountain climbing facility, and fun zones for younger children. The themed area "Grizzly Adventures" includes Grizzly Bay and the Yellowstone Water Company, offering splash-filled experiences. Other themed zones include Biene Fenjas Blumenwiese, Jaderhof, Löwenpalast, Lütjes Moor, and Okavango Delta.

All attractions are included in the entrance fee, making Jaderpark excellent value for families. The park is particularly well-suited for children up to age 12, though older visitors will also enjoy the wide variety of experiences on offer. A petting zoo (Streichelgehege) and animal feeding sessions round out the wildlife side of the visit.

Jaderpark is easily reached via the A29 motorway (exit Jaderberg) and offers ample parking on site.
