A WHOLE WORLD TO DISCOVER |
|
| |
At Aqualeon, boys and girls will enjoy sunshine and nature, and will learn to regard animals under a different light. |
|
| |
| |
| |
OUR PARK |
|
| |
Our park has three distinct areas: • Herbivorous Wildlife Safari: home of the Park’s largest herbivorous animals (antelopes, zebras, watusi…). The same school bus will take them through the Safari route. • Carnivorous Wildlife Safari: a British-style double-decker bus will safely take children close to the great wild cats — lions and tigers — and to brown bears. • Mini Zoo: this is the internal area of the park, where children can visit the homes of the common raccoon, meerkat, Bennett’s wallaby and many more. |

THE EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT |
|
| |
Our Educational Department has prepared a natural science programme with the following goals: • To provide support to teachers’ schoolwork to make the experience an additional complete, fun and adapted tool. • To make schoolchildren aware of the importance of protecting all living forms. • To bring schoolchildren closer to the magnificent wildlife world. Therefore in Aqualeon the schoolchildren will get closer and learn from a very special perspective about conservation of all the wildlife. |
