Animal guidings

What do animals eat for breakfast?

How does lunch for the lynxes Onerva, Matikainen and Pamela look like? How does one become a zookeeper and how can we all protect threatened species together? Ähtäri Zoo’s guidings give you insight in both the species and individual animal personalities inhabiting the zoo. Guidings are held in Finnish.

Below you can see the schedule for upcoming days. You can also book a private guiding by contacting the sales 030 621 5444 or sales@ahtarizoo.fi!
