1. Rendezvous with your favorite animal and overnight stay in the tree house

Schwerin Zoo

We invite you to a rendezvous with your favorite animal. The exclusive experience includes a one-hour guided tour with lots of exciting information about the animal of your choice, followed by getting to know it personally and feeding it up close. Decide which animal in the rhinoceros savannah, tapir enclosure or Humboldt House, where the sloths live, for example, you would like to meet. Catta, aardvark, penguin, yellow-breasted capuchin, wolf, coati, giraffe or red dog are also looking forward to getting to know you.

An overnight stay in the „Alexander von Humboldt“tree house offers a special kind of zoo experience. From the balcony, you can spot peccaries, coatis and capuchins, among others.

2. Guided tour

OZEANEUM Stralsund

This guided tour is a little something special, as it provides a glimpse into otherwise inaccessible areas of the Ozeaneum. In 90 minutes, visitors experience a tour of the aquariums and take a look behind the scenes in the technical area of the Baltic Sea Aquarium. Aquarists talk about their day-to-day work and explain what is needed to keep the beautiful and near-natural aquariums running. The maximum number of participants per group is ten people.
