In addition to all the exotic animal collection, the interesting part of the Deerland is the direct interaction with the animal. Despite the typical zoo and safari, we can experience feeding, touching and playing with the animal.

Not to miss items:
1-feeding the deer
2-touching the bear

You won’t have the chance to do it in other zoo, safari or animal park..
