On the second Sunday of Advent, children at the Stralsund Zoo can enjoy a special event: the polar wolves’ gift-giving ceremony! The zoo educator will explain why the wolves receive their special treat as early as the second Sunday of Advent in the “Legend of the Polar Wolves and the Second Sunday of Advent” at 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. in the zoo’s Ackerbürgerhaus. The lantern parade will also start from there at 3:45 p.m.—kids, bring your lanterns so we can find our way to the wolves on this twilight afternoon! The program is rounded out by Advent crafts at the Zoo School, where the little ones can get creative from 1:00–3:30 p.m. and make their own Christmas keepsake to remember this day.
On the second Sunday of Advent, the polar wolves will receive a very special Christmas gift
On Sunday, December 6, Stralsund Zoo will be filled with Christmas spirit and a touch of the wild: At the “Lantern Parade with Wolf Gift-Giving,” visitors can look forward to an atmospheric Advent afternoon centered around the polar wolves.
Zoo visitors of all ages will learn why the wolves receive their gifts as early as the second Sunday of Advent during “The Legend of the Polar Wolves and the Second Sunday of Advent.” The zoo educator will tell the story at 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. in the Ackerbürgerhaus.
Afterward, it’s time to light your lanterns and head to the wolves! The group lantern walk begins at 3:45 p.m. right in front of the Ackerbürgerhaus. Please note: Bringing your own lanterns is strongly encouraged and absolutely required! After all, we want to light up the path to the polar wolves together in a festive atmosphere. Once there, the highlight of the afternoon awaits: a very special feeding and gift-giving for the polar wolves.
If you’d like to get creative beforehand, you can make a festive keepsake during the Advent crafts session at the Zoo School from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The Stralsund Zoo warmly invites families to celebrate the second Sunday of Advent with a wonderfully animal-themed gift-giving event and an atmospheric lantern parade. So: Pack your lantern and don’t forget it!
