Kattegatcentret

In the Kattegat Centre in Grenaa, you can meet 2.5 metre long sharks as well as rays and other exotic fishes. The travolator brings you very close to the many unusual species of fish. In our natural outdoor enclosure, you can watch the seals having a whale of a time in the sea and on the beach. It is almost like being there among the chorals and the colourful fish. Perhaps one of the rays will even allow you to scratch his ear. See for yourself the rugged, rocky shores in the oceanarium - not to mention the entire food chain with sharks, cods, shoals of fish, and small marine animals. A fascinating experience. www.kattegatcentret.dk

Randers Regnskov
International-class rainforest experiences South America, Asia and Africa. Experience three rainforest continents in a tropical climate with giant lianas, buttress trees, roaring waterfalls and more than 250 animal species and more than 450 different tropical plants. In 2010, we will focus on senses, and the whole year will be packed with sensuous experiences where you will be challenged and surprised - including in the new Asian exhibition, which will open during the summer of 2010. Many of the animals live freely and you can get really close to monkeys, green iguanas, flying foxes and sloths. If you dare, you can join the snakes in Europe’s only snake temple with free-ranging snakes. Corals and exotic fish will fascinate you in the salt water aquarium. In the skull cave, you can go exploring among glow-in-the-dark skulls, giant boa constrictors and bats. At a safe distance, you will experience crocodiles and piranhas. And maybe you will end up in a tropical rain shower while watching manatees and tapirs. We are open 356 days a year and there are great 5-star nature experiences during summer as well as winter. Outside, you will find an enormous playground and a petting zoo with rabbits and goats. www.regnskoven.dk

Munkholm Zoo
Animal experiences at eye level.
Munkholm Zoo is located in peaceful surrondings on Djursland. The zoo offers full-day experiences for the whole family. We have many offers for animal-loving children, who can for example pet a rabbit, touch a goat, stroke a wild serval om its back, feel a snake or go for a ride on a pony. With more than 85 different species distributed on more than 400 animals, you are sure to have an interesting day. Go with the keepers on their round when they feed the animals and hear about what it is like to work with animals. You should also be there when the keepers show off the “tame” wild animals and talk about them.
Munkholm Zoo is a zoo with modern facilities that meet the needs
of the animals. When you walk through our more than 6 acres of land, there are plenty of opportunities to study the many different animals up close. Relax at the ”Serval Grill” while the children play on the playground. You can also enjoy your packed lunch at some of our roofed lunch
areas. www.munkholmzoo.dk
