Public tours during the winter season
Since a lot of people have shown interest in guided tours, we also offer themed tours of the zoo every Saturday and Sunday during the winter season.
Depending on the theme, one of the animal carers will present certain types of animal, showing how they interact and how we look after them. Visitors may have an opportunity to feed the animals, depending on the circumstances. These tours are free of charge. The standard entrance prices apply.

Book a guided zoo tour
We offer the chance to book a guided tour of our zoo. Here you will find plenty of information about our fosterlings, what they need from us and how we work with them. The animals are also fed and you may even be able to feed some of the animals a treat yourself.

Petting and caring for the animals
We are often asked whether it is possible to purchase gift vouchers for various occasions to pet, feed or take care of various wild animal species.
Unfortunately, the answer to this question is "No".
We offer opportunities for close contact where possible through public displays and guided tours. We are unable to offer further opportunities for many reasons (animal health, hygiene, safety).
Thank you for your understanding!
