Contact Zoo, Novosibirsk

In each city there is a zoo, and in some there are even a few. Some zoos are famous throughout the world, for example, the zoological park in London and Berlin . In them you can see animals and birds living on different continents, but you can hardly get close to them, as they are in their cages. But in Novosibirsk there are several contact zoos, among them there is the "Forest Embassy", about which we will tell you in this article.

Where is the Forest Embassy?

In Novosibirsk, the contact zoo "Forest Embassy" is located on Dusi Kovalchuk, house 179/3 on the first floor of the shopping center "Mikron". To get there, you need to get to the metro station "Zaeltsovskaya".

This is not just a zoo, the organizers call it an interactive educational platform, because the main purpose of creating such an unusual institution is to teach children to live in harmony with animals as part of wildlife.

When you come to the "Forest Embassy", first of all you get into the dressing room, where you leave your outer clothes and put on shoe covers. Nearby there is a store, and if you want to treat pets, then you can only buy food here, since you can not bring other food to the animals. In order to create a sense of being in the wild, all the halls are decorated with a large number of green plants, both artificial and real. In the first hall there live a large number of different guinea pigs: ordinary shaggy guinea pigs, naked (skinnies), one-year-old pigs of Vietnamese breed. There are also chickens, a pond with fish, hedgehogs, goats, donkey and other small animals.

The next room is inhabited by reptiles and amphibians: turtles (land and sea), snakes, lizards, Madagascar cockroaches. Basically, they can not be touched. Only turtles can be taken into the hands.

Next to this hall is a rest area, similar to a lawn covered with grass. Here you can sit or lie down and watch TV. Here you can see a cage with bats (bats) and squirrels, as well as an aviary with wavy parrots and other small exotic birds (you can go into it).

Particular attention of visitors is attracted by kangaroo and fox kitten. After all, you will agree, not every day you manage to pet such animals.

Organizers of the "Forest Embassy" not only created these pavilions, but also developed their "Constitution", studying which children learn how to behave properly in the forest.

In addition to this contact zoo, to communicate closely with animals, in Novosibirsk you can visit:

1. A temporary exhibition of monkeys - Red Avenue, 2 \ 1 on the 3rd floor of the Megas shopping center.
2. "Yard" - Sorge Street, 47. Here are home and wild animals of this area: a donkey, goats, ponies, rabbits, mumps, a different bird and a hedgehog.
3. "Teremok" - near the park Koltsovo. Here, as well as the previous zoo, live representatives of domestic animals. Works only in the warm season.
4. "Romashkovo Village" - on the territory of the central park of the city of Berdsk.

Whichever institution you choose to visit, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance: find out what kind of food you can take for animals (bread, vegetables, fruits) and tell your children the rules for handling animals.
