Continuing and expanding the tradition started last year, La Dolce Vita Mediterranean Weekend will be held again on the 11th and the 12th of May, bringing the Mediterranean experience to the trees of the Great Forest with the park’s rich citrus and ivy collection, thematic programmes and authentic performers. On both days visitors can admire and with a quiz can learn about the outstanding citrus and ivy collection of the Zoo.
The culture of Italy will be brought to life with a bumper-car race, Italian coffee, twisted ice cream, lemonade and freshly baked pizza at the gastro stalls, furthermore retro posters, old Italian cars, Vespa bikes, and a Bambino cave for the little ones awaiting visitors.
