When the Zoo Awakens in the Dark: Evening Safari for Families in Duisburg
On October 16, 2026, a special discovery experience for families begins at Duisburg Zoo: During the Evening Safari, children aged six and older and their accompanying adults will experience the animal world outside regular opening hours. In the evening atmosphere, the animal houses, paths, and enclosures appear more mysterious – and some residents reveal themselves only when the daily operations end.
Discover Local Wildlife with Expert Guidance
Zoo guides will provide educational and entertaining insights into zoo life during the approximately two-hour city and zoo park tour. The tour visits selected animal houses and combines nature experience, environmental education, and cultural enrichment into a family-friendly outing. With a bit of luck, animals that remain well hidden during the day can be observed.
Evening Atmosphere at Kaiserberg
As the light changes over the tree-covered zoo grounds, a special authentic atmosphere is created. Sounds are perceived more intensely, movements in the enclosure appear surprising, and familiar attractions of the zoo show a completely new side. The Evening Safari makes local wildlife tangible and creates history to touch – not in a museum, but right in the heart of Duisburg.
Important Information for Families
The Evening Safari is aimed at children aged six and older and their families. Registration is mandatory. The number of participants is limited to a maximum of 25 people. The tour takes place in any weather; dogs are not permitted during the Evening Safari. Meeting point is the entrance at Mülheimer Straße 273. Parking is available opposite the entrance.
Conclusion: A Animal Discovery Experience After Sunset
The Evening Safari for families offers an unusual view of Duisburg Zoo: knowledgeable zoo guides, selected animal houses, and the special ambiance of twilight make the evening an exciting outing for both little and big animal lovers. Make sure to register in advance and discover the Duisburg animal world as the zoo calms down.
