Wildlife and playground fun

Walk alongside the leafy Aare River, where pelicans swim in their long, rock-strewn lake, and bison roam through silver-stemmed beech forests. Nearly 300 species of animals, including wolves, wild boars, otters, and seals, await you. Bird lovers will get their money's worth with puffins, snowy owls and endangered Bali mynas. For children, there are pony rides, a petting zoo, playgrounds and a fascinating aquarium.
