Junior Animal Keeper
Attention: young zookeepers wanted!
“I want to be a zookeeper” – I’m sure that’s a dream you share too. But what exactly do animal keepers need to be able to do and know? The “Junior Animal Keeper” holiday programme provides the answers to these questions.
The LI Zoo School at Hagenbeck offers children aged 6 and over the chance to find out, in a fun way, whether they’ve got what it takes to be an animal keeper during the holidays, as part of a 90-minute guided tour through the Zoological Park.
The ‘Little Animal Keeper’ programme is for children aged 6 and over.
The programme:
- Identifying and sorting food
- Learning about ways to keep animals occupied
- Demonstrating strength and dexterity
- Interacting with live animals, recognising signs of health and wellbeing
- and much more....
Cost and duration:
- Five euros in addition to the Zoological Park Day Ticket

Meeting point:
Please meet at the LI Zoo School in the Zoological Park (map route no. 3) 10 minutes before the activity begins.
