This is exactly what children can experience themselves during the summer vacation at Zoo Schmiding. The new vacation program starts as early as 8:00 a.m., before the regular opening hours. Together with an experienced zoo keeper, participants take on real tasks from the daily life of the zoo and gain exclusive insights into areas that are usually hidden from visitors. Depending on the chosen program, the children accompany the zoo keepers to the giraffes, white rhinoceroses, or the petting zoo. They help prepare the enclosures, assist with daily tasks, and experience up close how the animals go outside in the morning. They will also get a close look at the two young animals, giraffe bull Moyo and white rhinoceros Nuru, who were born just a few months ago. Furthermore, the children will gain exciting insights into the daily work with tapirs and the animals in the petting zoo.Throughout the program, the zoo keepers share information about animal care, nutrition, behavior, and species protection. Participants will experience firsthand how diverse, responsible, and exciting the daily life of a zoo keeper truly is.Explorer adventure in the AquazooAlso in the Aquazoo, visitors will find an exciting novelty during the summer vacation.
