Zooschule 4

In 1984 the educational department was founded in the ALPENZOO. Our school teachers belong to the ALPENZOO staff and are biologist. The zoo education service offers experimental teaching with live animals for all age groups from preschool to adults. A wide range of instruction material has been created for use during a visit to the zoo. Furthermore our educational department trains our staff, create exhibitions and manage the library of our zoo. Being involved in the daily working process of the zoo our school teachers can use this information for vivid and up to date lessons.

The educational department is available for all schools, kinder gardens, teaching training colleges and adult education. Our services are training sheets, special training courses in everything concerning alpine animal species and seminaries.
