Big Zoo Festival in Herford: A Day Full of Exciting Activities

Get ready for an unforgettable day at the Big Zoo Festival in Herford, happening this Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm! This event promises a fun-filled day for all ages, with a variety of activities that will delight both animal lovers and adventure seekers.

The highlight of the festival is the Reporter Rally, a unique event where participants join forces to solve tricky questions about the zoo's residents, such as alpacas, marmosets, and porcupines. The goal is not speed, but accuracy in answering questions to determine the solution word. Participants can form small groups for the rally and even have the chance to win a day as a zoo keeper in Zoo Herford! The rally is recommended for children under eight with parental supervision.

For those who want to learn more about the zoo's inhabitants, guided tours are available not otherwise available. Led by Zoo director Thorsten Dodt, these tours offer insights into the animals' needs and the keepers' daily life. Visitors can also ask regular questions during these guided tours. The festival will also include rare feeding sessions and introductions to individual animals.

A visit to the large meerkat family is always worthwhile, and this festival gives you the perfect opportunity to observe these fascinating creatures up close. Porcupines provide prickly entertainment too, offering a chance to observe them from a safe distance.

For families, there's a special discount on the day of the festival: 10 euros for two adults with children, and 5 euros for one adult with children. The petting zoo offers friendly goats for pets and special feed, available for purchase at the zoo cashier.

For those looking for a bit of fun and temporary tattoos, artist duo Rainer Kunoth and Daniela Poropat are offering airbrush tattoos at the zoo festival. With 800 designs to choose from, including animals, vehicles, and superheroes, there's something for everyone. The airbrush tattoos use certified, easily removable colours that can be washed off with water and soap.

In addition to all these activities, a throwing game with small prizes is available for those who want to engage in some sport.

Remember, to enjoy these discounts, you need to present the website card, web subscription, ePaper subscription, or newspaper subscription. The search results do not contain information about the three main prizes at the Herford Zoo Festival. So, come and join the fun at the Big Zoo Festival in Herford and make memories that will last a lifetime!
