We invite you!

Immerse yourself in the fascinating habitats of our planet, encounter the impressive diversity of its animal species and ask all the questions you've always wanted to ask at our "Ask Me Stations".

Enjoy a colourful stage programme with live music in the specially opened museum park and get active yourself with creative activities.

Find out who or what is behind "Maggie" and find out what a scientific animal collection looks like or what happens in a morphology laboratory on exclusive guided tours.

On both days: Try out & discover

You can make FlowerPower-Balls, make animal masks in the museum school and discover exciting offers such as the hands-on
circus, a desire for jewellery, fossil grinding with the Nettersheim education centre and face painting for children.

Bonnatours, Spiele Stadt Bonn, Repair Cafe (Sat.) and NABU Bonn (Sun.) as well as the Maggie research bus, our educational programmes FörTax and Natur beflügelt invite families to get to know them with a variety of activities.

The Alexander Koenig Society (AKG), the Bonn Working Group for Bat Protection (Sun.) and the German Society for Herpetology and Terrarium Science introduce themselves. The AKG will be reading stories and fairy tales in the Festsaal and the Cologne Chocolate Museum will be waiting for you in the cafeteria with a sweet surprise!
