Wilderness park and museum train celebrate together

A fun and interesting program awaits visitors to the Zurich Wilderness Park on 15 and 16 May at the "Open Day" on the grounds of the visitor center in Sihlwald. On short guided tours through the exhibitions of the nature museum, interested visitors can also take a look behind the scenes. Children can have fun at the Punch and Judy show by the turbine theater from Langnau am Albis or make PocketLandart under the guidance of employees from the Zurich Wilderness Park. In addition, Switzerland's only hand-operated carousel with live music invites you to take a quiet and relaxing ride. At the information stand about neophytes, the visitor center team will be offering delicious pesto crackers made from Japanese knotweed and a small neophyte syrup bar.
