Explore nature's autumn at AQUA Akvarium & Dyrepark
From 12 to 20 October, you can get a taste of nature and explore nature's vast larder with AQUA Aquarium & Animal Park in Silkeborg. Here you can join guides on a daily hunt for mushrooms in the forest and help make wild pizzas with herbs and edible insects.
If you prefer something a little quieter, you can also press your very own apple juice, cosy up with snow bread in the campfire hut and carve your very own beetroot lantern, which you can of course take home with you.
Become a friend to the animals
You can also be a zookeeper's helper and help prepare food for the animals and go on a feeding round.
