Zotter´s edible zoo
RiegersburgThe chocolate shop theatre grows into the grounds: all visitors are invited to relax in the Edible Zoo and reflect on species-appropriate animal husbandry.
Riegersburg
A real open-air experience with lots of animals and crazy Zotter-style ideas. "Organic" to touch. Animal fun, knowledge, relaxation, nature experience and fun with a giant slide, farm golf and a petting zoo. Kids can let off steam at the adventure playground, prove their dexterity on the motor skills course and hang out in the pig forest.
Food & Drink
The Zotter Erlebniswelt offers a new gastronomy concept with organic street food in the courtyard in front of the chocolate theatre: Hot sausages, chips, soda, beer and more can be found here at the organic sausage stand "Airstreamer", with seating in the sun or in the shade of the umbrella & awning. Right next to it, you'll find everything you need for burgers, cevapcici and other grilled dishes at the new courtyard grill under the motto "Grill & Chill".
The organic delicatessen offers delicacies from the Edible Tiergarten, homemade desserts, and we will be happy to serve you at our wine bar or serve you first-class espresso to relaxing music - with organic & fair trade coffee beans, of course from our own roasting. How about a picnic with sandwiches & co. in the Edible Zoo? You can also get take-away food and drinks at the catering facilities, which you can consume at the numerous seating areas in the Tiergarten, e.g. at the covered Am-Vieh theatre. Home-made drinks are also available from the vending machines in the Tiergarten.
The Edible Zoo also features an Art Park with pond area. On display are numerous colourful and creatively designed installations and sculptures by renowned artists such as Paul Mühlbauer, Helmut Kohl and Josef Lederer.
