Family Days will be held on 27th and the 28th of January from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The two-day program offers young and old alike a great opportunity to get a glimpse into the lives of the birds and their exotic relatives that spend the winter here.

Of course, the park's birds will also present themselves during a guided tour combined with festive feedings from funny  penguins to tricky  ravens and the exotic inhabitants of Africa, to colourful parrots, but there also will be a falcon show  […]
