Since many attendants will have to take a day off of work, we would like to offer you also an excursion program to make an early arrival palatable.
Due to the favorable location of our event, we decided organize the trip to the excursion locations by tram. It would be advisable to buy a day ticket, since it is cheaper than two individual single-trip tickets (day ticket 4.10 Euro; 08.04.2009; price list GVH). You will be accompanied by a local guide on the excursion trips.
Here, you will have the whole day until 5 p.m. at your disposal.
The Rendezvous will take one hour, where the direct contact with the animal will be between 10 and 25 minutes, depending on the exact species.
Your Zoo Scout and the keepers will of course be there to answer all your questions. Together with your Zoo Scout you will discover during the Rendezvous, what is kept hidden for others: being allowed to be close with your preferred animal species.
During a guided tour, you will have the chance to have a look behind the scenes in the territory of your favorite animal. In conjunction with feeding your favorite animal, this will certainly be an unforgettable experience (including a certificate with a picture of your favorite animal).
For this, the following animals are available:
- Hippos, feeding and petting with a look behind the scenes (for a max. of 10 people).
- Meerkat, feeding and a look behind the scenes (for up to two people).
- Coati, feeding in the enclosure (for up to two people).
- Sea animals, feeding and a look behind the scenes (for up to five people).
The price tag of 99.00€ includes also a day ticket for an adult in the zoo. Additional participants pay only the regular fee of 11.50€ and 12.00€, respectively.
Afterwards, you will have the rest of the day until 5 p.m. at your disposal.
