A nature experience full of wonder for grandparents and grandchildren
On August 26, 2026, a free discovery morning awaits families at the Ecological-Botanical Garden of the University of Bayreuth, who want to experience the world of butterflies together. The offer is particularly aimed at grandparents and grandchildren of primary school age and combines movement, observation, and learning fun in the midst of nature.
Exploring with The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Under the motto Following in the footsteps of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, participants will playfully search for native butterflies, their caterpillars, and the suitable food plants. Children will experience how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly, discovering the individual developmental stages of the animals in a close and child-friendly manner.
Learning what butterflies need
The action conveys age-appropriate information about the habitats, food plants, and conditions that butterflies need to survive. Thus, a shared learning experience is created for children and adults, combining nature knowledge with joy, curiosity, and mindful observation.
Time together in the open area
The morning takes place in the open area of the Ecological-Botanical Garden. Among the plants, paths, and nature observations, a special family experience emerges that combines movement in the fresh air with educational value. The meeting point is the main entrance of the garden.
Who will particularly benefit from the event
The offer is especially recommended for grandparents and grandchildren aged 6 to 11 years. However, all families who desire a relaxed, nature-oriented morning filled with children's laughter and hands-on discoveries are welcome. No registration is required.
Conclusion: Nature knowledge to touch
Those who love butterflies or want to give children a lively introduction to the world of nature will find a well-rounded family offer here filled with discovery joy. Mark the date now and experience the discovery morning live.
