The Kaiserslautern-Siegelbach Zoo will sponsor a special Zoo Day as a part of the Germany-wide zoo days from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
The zoo team will offer free guided tours with the animal caretakers. Visitors will be able to look behind the scenes, touch and feed the animals, and ask questions.
The falconry team, which is an important part of the local zoo, will present this year’s final flight demonstrations.
Children can have fun on a giant slide and the fingers’ workshop from Kaiserslautern gives children the chance to be creative.
The Kussani puppet theater will perform two children’s plays and the medieval association Die Legende will take visitors back into the Middle Ages. Visitors can also enjoy wagon rides across the property.
Zoo personnel will offer food and drink specials at the fest meadow and in the restaurant.
