Polar Explorers in Action

Attention: Polar explorers wanted!
Hamburg’s coolest holiday activity in the Polar World at Hagenbeck

For all explorers, animal lovers and curious minds aged 10 and over, there’s the exciting holiday programme from the LI Zoo School at Hagenbeck – Polar Explorers in Action. Join us on a 90-minute expedition deep into the Polar World amongst fur seals and penguins, whatever the weather in Hamburg.
If you’d like to find out which body shape is best suited to swimming particularly fast, why penguins have no choice but to cuddle up in the freezing cold, and which animals and adventures await you in the deep sea, then join in with Hamburg’s coolest holiday activity.

‘Polar Explorers in Action’ is for children aged 10 and over.

The programme:

• Cool experiments with a stopwatch, ice and a thermometer at the exclusive research station in the Polar World
• Exciting animal sightings right outside the enclosures of polar bears, walruses and other animals
• An audio-guided ‘dive’ from the sea’s surface down to the seabed in our submarine.

Cost and duration:
Five euros in addition to the Zoological Park Day Ticket
Duration: 90 minutes

Meeting point:
Please arrive at the meeting point 10 minutes before the event begins. The event does not start at the main entrance, but directly at the walrus enclosure (path map no. 39) in the ‘Eismeer’/Polar World area of the Zoological Park. Please allow sufficient time for this when planning your visit.
