Knies Zauberhut

At Knie’s Children’s Zoo, a magical event location overlooks the enclosures of elephants, flamingos, giraffes, and co.

In Knies Zauberhut, guests feel as if they are sitting under a magician’s magic hat. Whether a gala dinner, a show, or a presentation – thanks to a hydraulic stage and circus ring-style seating, the arena can be designed to suit any occasion. Furthermore, the Flamingo Bar & Lounge offers additional space for apéros or receptions.

As the venue is situated in the middle of Knie’s Children's Zoo, events can be combined with a tour of the zoo or other animal-related social programs.
