Wilhelma Zoo meetup, Sunday 10.Aug.08 (Stuttgart)

Hey everbody!

I'll admit it, I'm out of the age range where liking zoos is still normal, but forget that, who wants to go to the Zoo on sunday?

That's for July, I'd assume that august is the same(?). We could go around noon-1ish and have more time, or show up after 4:00 and pay 8€ (as opposed to 12€).

Who's up for it?

Hi

Great idea

I will go if I get back in town by then and the weather cooperates.
Would be more game for after 4, but what time does it close for sure?

Cheers

It's half price entry for students - so take some kind of ID!

I can't make it unfortunately as I'm doing the Ludwigsburg thing.

Adrian brings up a good point that I haven't officially killed this event off yet, but uh, yeah, see my othe thread isntead

Wilhelma may still be a decent option for a visit during the winter months. They have a good number of indoor exhibits near the entrance (jungle rain forest, apes/monkeys, lizards and fish, birds, plus green house area). If you want to stay warm inside you miss out on the elephants / bears / giraffes etc, but there is still a lot to see at Wilhelma in the winter.

Wilhelma's green house area and rain forest buildings are really something different and special for a zoo IMHO. Plus they should always be quite toasty.

Note they are spending 2008-09 winter reworking the main entrance, so getting in is a little screwy.
