zoologisk have, zoo


Explanation:
I think people still tend to say zoologisk have, but Danish zoos tend to call themselves the name af a city/town + Zoo, and as far as I can see, this is becoming increasingly common, so if you are translating a tourist guide or something like that, I would go for zoo.
