ZOO IN LOVE

What we humans think of as a love life is, in the animal kingdom, one thing above all else: biology at its finest. Instead of romantic gestures, it’s all about courtship, competition, timing, and amazing strategies that have stood the test of time over millions of years. And it is precisely this diversity that makes the subject so fascinating.

For Valentine's Day, the Hannover adventure zoo is hosting a special guided tour that shows the many different ways animals choose their mates, ensure the survival of their offspring, and pass on their genes. Sometimes flashy and spectacular, sometimes surprisingly efficient—nature has many paths to the same goal. Some species rely on long-term pair bonds, others on changing partners or elaborate courtship rituals, in which stamina, color, or voice make the decisive difference.

With a touch of humor and based on scientific findings, you’ll learn fascinating and curious facts about reproduction and social behavior in the animal kingdom. 

What you can expect:

  • Fascinating insights into courtship behavior, mate selection, and reproductive strategies in the animal kingdom
  • Engaging, scientifically sound examples presented right in front of the zoo animals
  • A fun guided tour for couples, friends, and anyone who enjoys exploring nature with curiosity and a sense of humor
  • Featured Topic: 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.: For lovers in the jungle - Head over heels in love
  • Featured Topic at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.: For Lovers in Yukon Bay - Passion in cold climates

Perfect for Valentine's Day
This tour is an invitation to marvel, smile, and share the experience with others. It provides plenty to talk about—whether during the stroll through the zoo afterward or while winding down with a drink at the courtyard café. 

Be sure to reserve your spots early, as space is limited. Dive into the surprisingly diverse world of animal reproductive strategies—it’s educational, entertaining, and guaranteed to be different from a typical Valentine’s Day evening.

The icing on the cake
When booking the tour, you have the option to purchase a ticket for yourself and your companion that includes two admissions for the price of one!
