If you want to be active, we recommend a round of ice skating in the region’s ice rinks, some of which have extended their opening times. If the weather doesn’t go completely crazy, a trip into nature during the semester break is certainly worthwhile, whether on a skateboard, scooter or bike.
The first young animals of this year have seen the light of day in the zoos. The zoo in Wels is happy about the offspring in the monkey house and the Schmiding zoo in Krenglbach about the giraffe baby Nuka, who was born on January 23. During the semester break, visitors to Schmiding Zoo receive first-hand information from the animal keepers. Chameleons and lorises are fed with the visitors, the tapirs are groomed and showered in front of the visitors, you can take a look at the stables and much more.
If you want to immerse yourself in the world of science and technology, the Welios in Wels is the right place for you. Science shows on the topics of nitrogen and fire are on the program every day.
An experience for the whole family is solving puzzles in the so-called escape rooms, where you are “locked in”. There, the participants have to solve various tricky tasks together in a race against time. There are providers for this in Wels and Linz, for example.
Rhino pats
A look behind the scenes, Zoo Schmiding, Krenglbach
During the semester break, Schmiding Zoo lets visitors take a look behind the scenes. The animal keepers show what is good for their protégés and what tricks they use to turn the animals’ search for food into a little adventure. Anyone who would like to take a look at the feed kitchen with the animal keepers and put together creative food packages with them should stop by the petting zoo area every day between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
A highlight is certainly the visit to the giraffe house, where there are offspring again.
Do laps on the ice
Ice skating fun in Wels, Marchtrenk, Peuerbach
After the closure of the Welser Eis-8ers, you can no longer glide over the ice under the open sky.
But ice skating fans in the region can also do their rounds on two skates in the ice rinks in Wels, Marchtrenk and Peuerbach. If you don’t have your own equipment, you can rent ice skates. During the semester break, there are sometimes longer opening hours.
Ahoy in the pirate world
Bathing pleasure in the Aquapulco, Bad Schallerbach
Little water rats love the pirate world in the Aquapulco in Bad Schallerbach with five slides, the large wave pool and the 5D cinema with moving seats and great special effects.
For the brave, there’s a Kamikaze slide with a 50 percent gradient, but there’s also Black Jack, Snaky, the Octopus and the Canyon.
Spectacular experiments
Science shows at the Welios in Wels
In the Welios, twice a day during the semester break, at 11 a.m. and 2.30 p.m., science shows are on the program, where visitors experience an unforgettable “wow” effect – nitrogen and fire are involved.
In addition to the permanent exhibition, the current special exhibition “Under the Clouds – of Weather and Climate” can be seen.
