Annual Children's Event Hits Round Four at Neunkircher Zoo
The much-anticipated Neunkirchen Zoo's Zoo-Olympic Children's Festival is set to take place on August 15, 2025, from 11:00 to 15:30. This annual event, a staple of Neunkirchen's holiday programme since its name change in 2022, offers a unique blend of entertainment, learning, and family time for all ages.
Originally organised by the children's carnival club Hoppeditz, the festival has been under the management of Neunkirchen Zoo since 2022. Over the past 20 years, the Zoo-Olympic Children's Festival has become a beloved tradition, attracting both young and old animal lovers.
Upon entry, children will receive a free participation card for various play and learn stations. These stations provide opportunities for animal encounters, learning about different species and conservation efforts, and participating in Olympic-style physical activities and games.
Creative workshops and crafts related to wildlife and nature, interactive storytelling, and entertainment focused on animals are also part of the festival. Children can even earn small prizes or certificates for their participation.
New for 2025, the festival will include stations teaching about zoo animals in a fun, engaging way. The zoo's falconry will be present, offering insights into the world of birds of prey.
The festival's focus on zoo animals and educational content began in 2022, making it an ideal opportunity for families to learn about the zoo's residents and the importance of wildlife conservation.
The DM drugstore chain and the Saarland Youth Fire Brigade are among the event's supporters for 2025. As one of the region's most popular leisure facilities, Neunkirchen Zoo is committed to providing memorable, educational experiences for its visitors.
By completing all stations, children will be entered into a raffle, with winners announced at 16:30 at the Zoo School. Prizes can be taken home immediately by raffle winners.
For exact activities and schedules, it is recommended to check the official Neunkirchen Zoo website or direct zoo communications closer to the event date. The Neunkirchen Zoo's Zoo-Olympic Children's Festival promises another exciting day of fun, learning, and family time in 2025.
