Happy Birthday!
Children’s birthday party at the zoo
To children and young people
You still don’t know how to celebrate your birthday with friends? Have you ever thought about a discovery tour through the zoo? In any case, we are delighted to act as scouts for you and share exciting and interesting experiences with the Zoo’s animal world with you.
To parents and relatives
Are you still looking for a theme for a children’s birthday party? Or a place that offers children and young people something special, and can take some of the organisational work off your hands?
Convince yourself of the interesting offers of the Karlsruhe Zoological Gardens! The zoo education team (biology and education specialists) is happy to assist you.
Our offer for you:
We accompany the birthday children and their guests on selected discovery tours through the Karlsruhe Zoological Garden and provide lots of interesting and exciting information about our animals.
Materials such as feathers, skins or furs are always in the Scout luggage so that the birthday event is associated with lasting experiences and memories.
The programmes and visual materials for the children’s birthday parties are constantly being developed and offer up-to-date information, fun and surprises for every age group (from 6 years).
Our themes for children’s birthday tours
1 Habitat diversity
From the savannah to the polar regions, from the oceans to the rainforests, animal species with very different adaptations live everywhere.
2 Predators
Whether different hunting strategies or special adaptations to the environment, in this tour you will discover the special features of the small and large predators.
3 A trip around the world, in the zoo
On this tour, we will travel with you through all the continents of the world from Australia to the Arctic in just a few minutes and experience the animals that live there.
4 Aquatic animals
Not only penguins, sea lions and seals are in their element in the water. On this guided tour you will learn about the special features of life in water.
5 Large mammals
Size and weight are not the only exciting characteristics of hippopotamus, giraffe, elephant and co.
6 Animals in the cold
To brave the cold, a thick coat or thick feathers help. But food is also often scarce in icy regions. How do animals manage to survive under such conditions?
7 Following the traces in the zoo
What tracks do animals leave behind and what do these tracks reveal? Join us on an exciting search for clues and solve an exciting clue puzzle.
8 Animals of Africa
Zebra, meerkat, chimpanzee and many other animal species characterise the image of the African continent. Experience the savannah of Africa from its animal side with us.
9 Exploration at the zoo
How do you research animals? We will answer this question with you. You will become an animal researcher yourself.
10 Animal records
Fastest runner, best diver, longest jump or extremely good hearing – these are just a few records for which medals could be awarded in the animal kingdom. Find out more about top animal achievements!
11 Tour of the exotic animal house
This one-hour tour takes you to many examples of all classes of vertebrates, from fish to mammals. Many of them can be experienced freely in the hall.
12 Favourite animals according to your wishes
With this theme, you can put together a tour entirely according to your wishes. Just tell us four or five of your favourite animals and learn all about them.
