• Deer food sells out on busy days, since the park limits the CHF 5 boxes for the free-roaming zone, so buy one early
• Five minutes from Arth-Goldau station, which beats driving: there's no parking at the entrance and the lots fill on sunny weekends
• Socks only in Zauberwald, the indoor playground, where street shoes, food and drinks are not allowed

The park sits on the terrain left by the 1806 Goldau landslide. In the free-roaming zone, kids feed sika deer and mouflons with the park's own food. Bears and wolves share one enclosure, owls live in a walk-in aviary, and a farm area has goats and donkeys.

Wet days suit the Zauberwald indoor playground and a landslide simulator. A wooden tower nearly 30 m tall looks out to the Rigi.
