Animal activity for our djeladas on International Monkey Day
Location: Chemnitz Zoo, Nevoigtstr. 18
Registration: Pre-registration at tierpark(at)stadt-chemnitz.de is required by 11 December. Participation with dogs is not possible.
Admission: regular admission price (adults 9.50 euros, concessions 5 euros)
How can you keep monkeys occupied in a meaningful way? What behaviours do they exhibit? And why is occupation so important for animals in the zoo? To mark International Monkey Day, we invite you to join us in designing creative activities for our djeladas. After a brief introduction to the behaviour and lifestyle of this fascinating species of monkey, you will learn why enrichment - i.e. targeted activity - plays a central role in animal care.
We then work together to develop small tasks and craft ideas that correspond to the natural abilities and needs of the djeladas.
Finally, we observe together how the animals react to the designed activities - an exciting insight into their intelligence, curiosity and social behaviour. We look forward to your participation and an exciting encounter with our djeladas!

Open zoo school: Tit dumplings in old teacups
Location: Chemnitz Zoo, Nevoigtstr. 18
Admission: regular admission price (adults 9.50 euros, concessions 5 euros), participation with dogs is not possible
What do environmental protection and bird feeding have in common? In our open zoo school, we show how a little creativity can turn old teacups into practical feeding stations for garden birds - in the spirit of upcycling.
Instead of throwing away used items, we give them a new lease of life and do something good for wildlife at the same time. While crafting together, you will learn why upcycling is an important contribution to resource conservation: it saves energy, reduces waste and promotes a more conscious use of materials.
Whether young or old - everyone is welcome to get creative, learn about sustainable behaviour and take home a self-designed food cup.
Please bring an old teacup (with handle) that you would like to use for your feeding station. Each piece will be unique and personalised!
