World Day of Giraffes: Exciting experiences in the zoom experience world!

In the Zoom Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen there is a special event: On Sunday, June 22, 2025, the world day of giraffes will be celebrated.

The zoom experience world has come up with a lot for the world day. The programs contain informative topics on areas such as medical training, giraffe transport, nutrition and employment. Local click will be who willingly answer questions and give insights into their exciting everyday work.

For young and old there are a variety of activities. You can test your skill while shooting a blowpipe, use creative handicrafts or turn on the wheel of fortune.

In many regions of Africa, especially in the Chad, they are at risk and are hunted due to their valuable parts of the body. Projects such as the cooperation between AGA and Wings for Conservation are actively committed to protecting giraffes and their habitats. The research of the distribution area also plays a central role in this.
