Tours for people with dementia

Hear many lovely anecdotes about the animal inhabitants on a walk through the historical Zoo Berlin and talk about your own animal experiences.

This guided walk around the Zoo is designed to be evocative and address multiple senses. The aim is to give people with dementia the opportunity to express themselves and engage in conversation, to create links with their own memories, and to enjoy social contact and cultural participation. The walk includes a shared break with light refreshments.

Successful cooperation

Zoo Berlin developed this tour in cooperation with the aid organisation Malteser Hilfsdienst. The walks are all led by trained staff from the organisation.
