Children's birthday parties at the Zoo am Meer
1.) Zoo Treasure Hunt (for children ages 5-7)
On a treasure hunt, participants learn how our zoo animals are adapted to their habitat. In the zoo and behind the scenes, the goal is to solve tricky puzzles and tasks related to our animals.
2.) Zoo Fun (for children ages 7-9)
On this fun birthday tour in the zoo and behind the scenes, children learn through play about the importance of enrichment and training for our zoo animals. They make their own enrichment for one of our animals and watch what they do with it. Of course, a fun animal feeding is also a must!
3.) Exploring the Zoo (for children ages 9-12)
A look behind the scenes: Where do our animals sleep? What do our animals eat? How are the animals transported? Right next to the enclosures: Learn interesting, exciting and funny stories about the animals at the Zoo. Experimenting at the Zoo: We use the Zoo School's professional research equipment to get to the bottom of the animals' secrets. (e.g. Why doesn't the polar bear freeze?)
For everyone:
Depending on the mood of the animals or the wishes of the birthday child, animals can be fed or a snake can be touched with courage.
Please note that it is not possible to know in advance whether an animal will be the "star guest" at a child's birthday party. Therefore, we would like to point out that the services described above are not guaranteed when booking a children's birthday party. Afterwards, you and your friends can go on a zoo rally or romp around in the playground until the zoo closes.
A little tip from us: A child's birthday party is only fun at a certain age. We recommend a minimum age of 5 years.
Experiencing animals with all your senses makes the birthday party a unique experience!
