Exciting zoo school in Hoyerswerda: Holiday program for families!

In the Hoyerswerda Zoo, there are exciting opportunities for families during the summer vacation. While the third to fifth graders from Saxony enjoy their school-free days, they can take part in an exciting holiday program in the zoo school with their parents or grandparents. Every Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., families have the opportunity to develop animal jobs together and to implement them directly in the enclosures. For only 39 euros per family, children and adults can provide good time under the guidance of zoo educators.

The special attraction on July 16 will be the white tail torch pig. Silke Kühn, the head of the zoo school, will bring exciting information about habitats and the nutrition of this interesting animal species. In addition, visitors can observe how the bargain pigs like to play with objects, such as a coconut. The animals are brought into the inner stables by the zookeepers during the activities, which guarantees safe and educational experience for all participants. After a “work”, the families can admire the animals with their new toy on a visitor route.
