About

The Igelzentrum in Oerlikon is Zurich's hedgehog center, where sick and injured hedgehogs are cared for. On this children's tour, kids get to know the center and learn about the spiky wild animal living on their doorstep. Part of the tour runs outside. It suits curious younger kids who can follow a guide, with their grown-ups along.
