Emotions, sensations and affection for families with children.
The Petting zoo creates the first link between children and nature.
Hands-on experience with animals
A family activity where children and adults take part together.
You will be able to gently meet the animals, feed them by hand and observe them up close, always guided by our educators.
As we interact with them, we learn their stories, ask questions and discover how to care for animals with respect.
It is a special moment for the whole family – a chance to connect with nature and learn together.
Animals you will meet during the activity
All these animals were rescued and now live at the wildlife sanctuary.
During the activity we help with small daily tasks that are part of their routine care.

What is the optimal age for children
What is the optimal age for a baby to come into contact with animals for the first time?
During the first 3 years of our little one’s life, his or her brain develops in an incredible way. Interaction with the environment during this time is crucial for emotional health, for learning to relate and for acquiring lifelong skills.
What emotions and sensations do you want to enrich your child’s life with in his or her first months?
We are convinced that contact with animals should be among them.
