Activities with children
How cute! Experiencing cows and goats on the farm, meeting rabbits and chickens while hiking. Quite impressive. Deer, stags, ibexes, marmots - you can see them all in wildlife parks. Exotic animals such as coatis, tortoises, parrots or kangaroos can be marveled at at the Doppelmayr Zoo in Wolfurt.
Pet sheep and rabbits, take a look in the chicken coop and insect hotel, visit the goats in the enclosure: All this is possible on the two-kilometer-long path. There is also a playground and an observation station with binoculars along the way.
In Feldkirch, the beautifully landscaped wildlife park above the city center invites you to visit. Around 170 native wild animals live here. There is also a forest nature trail, a large playground and a farm store. An alpine game park is located on the Pfänder near Bregenz. The Pfänder cable car takes you up to the 1,064-meter-high mountain in six minutes. Admission to both wildlife parks is free.
Over 70 different animal species, including coatis, alpacas, raccoons and kangaroos, as well as a wide variety of bird species, can be seen at the Doppelmayr Zoo in Wolfurt. There is a lot going on, especially in spring, when many animals see the light of day. The privately run zoo is open to the public at all times throughout the year.
A special experience is to hike in the company of llamas, alpacas or huskies or visit a farm and learn about farm life. You can find current events here.

Numerous Vorarlberg farms offer cosy rooms and also holiday flats. Some of them are specialised “baby and children’s farms”. The host families are particularly good at making holidays enjoyable for children and adults and bringing interested people closer to life on a farm.
