Autumn market in Dessau Zoo: fun for the whole family!

Autumn is just around the corner, and that means the cozy time of the autumn market in the Dessau Zoo is starting again. On October 11th and 12th, 2025, the zoo will be transformed into a colorful market. Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., visitors can discover handmade products, regional delicacies and autumn specialties while strolling through the stalls and enjoying the smell of freshly baked bread and other delicacies.

The zoo has a great program for the little leisure explorers. You can look forward to pony rides, face painting, playing in piles of leaves and carving pumpkins. A special highlight: The remains of the pumpkins that are used at the market then serve as delicious food for the park's animal residents. If you would like to satisfy your thirst for knowledge through these activities, you can take part in an autumn tour led by Jan Bauer, the zoo manager.

Interactive experiences for young and old

A visit to Dessau Zoo is not only a joy for the eyes, but also for the mind. Technology enthusiasts have the opportunity to experience a digital tour of the historic mausoleum - simply using a QR code. This adds a modern touch to market operations and ensures that the autumn market is not only culinary but also culturally exciting.

In nature we not only encounter plants and animals, but we can also actively contribute to their well-being. The zoo is calling for donations of food in the form of old apples, carrots and nuts for the collared bear family. Shopping at the autumn market is not only a pleasure, but also a good deed for the magical creatures of the zoo.
