The children will have an opportunity to visit police headquarters in Linz and learn about everyday life in the police force.

Children should be more aware of some of the potential dangers in life early on in order to better recognize dangerous situations.

That means:

more aware of road traffic,

more aware of dangerous situations.

The children will spend the day at the Urfahr climbing park where professional climbing instructors will introduce the children to climbing. As part of the introductory course, the children will not only learn about responsibility by means of specific exercises and types of techniques, they will have an opportunity to push themselves and test their coordination through a series of exercises.

• Maximum number of children: 12

In addition to learning, the children will also focus on understanding more about a sense of community, social interaction, and the joy of helping and being active.
During this visit to a fire station, the children learn about the important role that community service plays in a society, camaraderie, and how people train to work successfully as part of a team.
It will also be a lot of fun!

Dragons, elephants, globes, or bowls: Under the guidance of Mrs. Eder, we will work with clay and learn more about the art of pottery. The childrens' works of art will be fired, painted, and, of course, taken home.

• Please dress the children in clothes that they can get dirty.
• Maximum number of children: 15

These workshops at the Lentos Danube Studio creatively explore a selected theme in the current exhibition while also taking part in hands-on activities. The hands-on activities are diverse, ranging from painting, portrait drawing, and object art, to creative writing and performance elements. The workshop programs intensively explore a particular artistic approach (i.e., portrait painting, surreal methodology) to unlock the participants' individual creative potential, and encourage a proactive approach to modern and contemporary art.

The children will take an adventurous walk outdoors in a park or through a forest to answer questions and solve riddles in order to find a hidden treasure.

There will be a selection of forest games to choose from: Forest gallery, build a marble run, explore ground animals, "Bockerl" target throwing and bouncing, darts, make pan flutes, forest dominoes and a tree memory game, sensory exercises such as stalking, eagle eye, sound land map.

Birds are fascinating: Be it their song, their acrobatic flying skills, or their migratory feats. However, it is not always easy for man and birds to co-exist. The exhibition at the Schlossmuseum in Linz draws attention to the state of our bird world and biodiversity as part of our country's rich natural heritage.

Birds are an infallible gauge of environmental quality, especially of the state of the landscape and its habitats. As bioindicators, they are sensitive to both natural and man-made changes.

A hike through one of Upper Austria's oldest nature reserves takes us directly to an alpaca herd pasture. Surrounded by one of man's oldest farm animals, we learn amazing things about these unique landscape keepers and fiber animals. We will spin a thread from the fleece of these gentle and curious small camels using a hand spindle. And just like shepherds in the Andes, we will weave the thread directly on the pasture with the help of a hip weaving frame.
The meeting point is in the rugged and picturesque Pesenbach valley, at the forest pool in Bad Mühllacken. There is a short, steep climb during which we can enjoy the diversity of Mühlviertel's oldest nature reserve and collect "goodies" for our alpacas and their foals in the pasture. As part of the herd, we are immersed into the fascinating world of alpacas, experiencing the preserved biodiversity through grazing animal husbandry first-hand as well as learning about the importance of perserving our cultural landscape.

Exhibitions today at the Ars Electronica Center are all about the future, especially different technological advancements and how they impact art, society, and each of us individually. The children can take part in unique hands-on exhibitions where they use their senses to explore, experiment, and experience new things.

... learn through experience!
Visual aids and on-site experts give the children a special, exciting guided tour where they will hear stories and get information they would otherwise not learn about during a regular visit to the zoo.
