On 1 November, All Saints’ Day, a new activity will reveal all the secrets of bats and a special tour will show the public how the Zoo takes cares of its animals
Autumn activities are back at Zoo de Barcelona. For All Saints’ Day, the Zoo is launching a new family activity about bats and a special tour that will show visitors how it takes care of its animals. It has also recently reopened the Invertebrates Area escape room, a different way to visit this attraction.
New bat activity and animal well-being tour
On 1 November, Zoo visitors will be able to participate in the “Aliats dels ratpenats” (Bat Allies) workshop, where, for example, they’ll learn how these flying mammals are able to detect the smallest of insects, even in the dark.
The activity is free and available at the times shown on the Zoo’s website.
On the same day, the Zoo will also be offering a special tour focusing on how it takes care of its animals. The tour will provide visitors with a first-hand look at the work of the Zoo’s keepers and everything they do to guarantee animal well-being.
It’s free of charge and will begin at 11.30 in front of the Zoo’s offices, inside the park.
In addition to these two new activities, on 31 October and 1 November the Zoo will be giving out chestnuts to children who dress up as castanyers (chestnut sellers), in honour of the Catalan castanyada holiday. There will also be a stall in Plaça de la Dama del Paraigua selling the holiday’s traditional chestnuts and sweet potatoes.
The Invertebrates Area escape room is back
With the arrival of autumn, the Zoo has opened the Invertebrates Area escape room again. This is a unique way to visit the attraction and learn about the vital importance of invertebrates such as spiders, beetles and worms for ecosystem balance.
Participants will enter the space with a Zoo educator, and once inside, will have to answer a series of invertebrate-related questions in order to get out.
This paid activity is exclusively for Zoo Club members and must be booked in advance on the Zoo’s website.
