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.

The moderated use of the diver in the deep pool is a regular visitor attraction at the Müritzeum. Every three weeks, visitors can watch an experienced diver cleaning the deep pool while being surrounded by hundreds of silvery shimmering mares. An aquarium expert comments on the work and tells interesting facts about the fish, the daily technical work in an aquarium and the challenges of keeping over 50 species of fish.

For many animal lovers, being an animal keeper is a dream job. At the zookeeper days, visitors can get a taste of zoo life in a special way and immerse themselves exclusively in the everyday life of a zookeeper. They can get very close to the zoo inhabitants and take a look behind the scenes off the beaten track. In various areas, the temporary colleagues report on their daily interaction with the zoo inhabitants.
