All our visitors have fun learning, and the kids will really have a good time here – the zoo also includes a huge playground at the Bororo Reserve with a 12-meter climbing frame, a cable car between the upper and lower parts of the zoo, a children’s train, a paddling pool, and a petting zoo where the kids can touch the animals.
There is also a rich program of events prepared in the zoo throughout the year to liven up your visit to the animals. Commented feeding times and meetings with popular animals are regularly held, for example, accompanied by engaging stories. There are special courses in which you can create various gifts for the animals and then watch them play with them, or you can even make an unusual souvenir – handmade paper made of elephant dung at the Zoo’s Paper Mill!
