Taking part in ‘THEME DAYS’ is a fun way to learn about Nature and all its secrets.
Each month we have a theme and each Sunday a different event to play with and discover how to protect forests and seas.
May is the month dedicated to wetlands and all the creatures that inhabit these fragile ecosystems.
There are famous ambassadors such as flamingos and tigers, and others less well-known, such as invertebrates – vital links in a network that connects water, plants, animals, air and sunlight.
Every weekend, we’ll be exploring one of the many aspects of this world suspended between land and water.
Let’s celebrate the EAZA ‘Wetlandsforlife’ campaign together and discover these silent worlds.
Every Saturday and Sunday, we look forward to welcoming you with activities, games and workshops! Discover the full programme.

Wetlands are worlds suspended between water and land, where every presence is connected to another by invisible threads. Among these shallow, reflective waters lives one of the most elegant and surprising ambassadors of biodiversity: the flamingo.
By following the journey of a flock, we will understand how ponds, lagoons and marshes are all connected, even when they seem far apart, why protecting just one is not enough, and how each of us can contribute to their conservation.
At the Pollinators Area from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
Wetlands are fragile ecosystems that need all our attention, yet few people know their secrets. To investigate them, we will equip ourselves with magnifying glasses and stereoscopes, Petri dishes and colorful jars—just like real naturalists—as we discover together the biodiversity within a single drop of water.
At the Pollinators Area from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
Play with us to learn how to recognize penguins and discover their intricate love stories. If you want to protect them, what can you do? Did you know that fish can be seasonal, just like fruit and vegetables?
Come and play with us—try being both a fisher and a chef! But first, you’ll need to stop by the fish market…
At Betty’s Bay, African Penguin area 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
Have you ever followed the tracks of a tiger? If you find a footprint, do you know how to take it home?

At the Pollinators Area from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm
A DAY WITH MIC
Invertebrates are the most numerous animals on the planet, yet also among the least known—and still essential for all of us. Let’s learn to recognize them, give them a name, and protect them. They live everywhere, even in water: that’s exactly where we’ll go looking for them, equipped with microscopes and magnifying glasses.
Are you ready to count the legs?
