Important Notice!
Thanks to the generous support of Berliner Volksbank, the workshop on the nature trail—including admission to the Tierpark—can be offered free of charge for school classes on selected dates. The currently available dates can be found below.
Nature Trail (Workshop)
Surrounding the Tierpark school is a nature trail that is exclusively available for school workshops. Here, students can independently explore hidden secrets of nature. What role do trees play in the climate? What would a world without insects look like? Which herbs are edible? How does natural recycling work? What habitats exist right outside our door? At various stations, young and older explorers can investigate these and many other questions on their own. The “Green Classroom” serves as both the starting point and final destination of this very special outdoor lesson.

The nature trail was established thanks to the generous support of Berliner Volksbank.
