Walks for people with dementia
Hear many lovely anecdotes about our animal inhabitants on a walk through the historical Zoo Berlin and tell us 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.
Discovering the animals with all senses
For many years, Zoo Berlin has been committed to fascinating young and old for the unique beauty of nature. Now the Zooschool has been awarded for the project Walks for people with dementia in the special competition "Social Nature - Nature for All" of the UN Decade of Biological Diversity.
All at a glance!
Sensory tour
How does the fur of a polar bear feel? What noise do flamingos make? And how do tigers smell? On this tour, visitors need multiple senses! It allows visitors who may not have full use of all their senses to experience the world of Zoo Berlin. The tours are adapted to the individual needs of the participants.
