Space for animal experiences – grasping diversity

Make your visit to the zoo or the BearPark something very special! Experience a guided tour in the BearPark, spend a night in Dählhölzli, look over the shoulder of the animal keeper at work, celebrate a child’s birthday in the BearPark or, as a school class, supplement and deepen your school lessons in workshops. Whether it’s scales, feathers or spines, the word “touch” is taken literally at Bern Animal Park: Experiencing with all your senses makes it easier to understand complex interrelationships and is great fun for animals.
