The ponies Paul and Caspar and the goats look forward to being fed by you. Animal feed is available for \u20ac1 at the entrance, while Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Aladdin and his friends smile at the raccoon gang that greets you there.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Feed ponies and dig in the sandbox<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fairy Tale Zoo is a small, family-friendly destination. While the kids play in the large sandbox and set sail, you can sit together comfortably and unpack your packed lunch. Children&#8217;s birthday parties can be celebrated here together with Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella. Your dog is warmly welcome. Please keep on a leash out of consideration for the animals.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open Monday to Friday from 11 AM to 6 PM, on weekends and holidays from 10 AM. Important for planning: <strong>Only cash payment is possible<\/strong>. The circular path has no steps, but one section is difficult to pass with a wheelchair or walker due to raised tree roots.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information about the Fairy Tale Zoo
