〇 * [What is Dream Day at the Zoo] *
This is an international program that invites children with
disabilities and their families to zoos and aquariums so that they can have fun and have fun together. It started in 1996 at the Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands.
Since we invite families to visit zoos and aquariums after the zoo is closed, we have created a program called “*Dream Night at the Zoo* It spread all over the world under the name “. Since this event will be held during the day, the name will be changed to “*Dream Day at the Zoo*”.
