A new evening of family activities at the Wildlife Recovery Center of Menorca! This Tuesday, starting at 6:30 PM, enjoy a new family workshop at the animal hospital.
Do you want to understand why birds and other animals travel thousands of kilometers during their migrations? This will be the subject of this week’s activity. We will learn through games and interactions with the center’s animals.
Animal migrations are regular movements that many species undertake, usually between their breeding grounds and their wintering areas. These journeys, which can be very long and often dangerous, typically occur every year and are primarily motivated by the search for food, suitable temperatures, and safe places to breed. At the Recovery Center, you can see different examples of animals that migrate and those that don’t, and learn about the special characteristics of some species native to Menorca.
Remember, the Wildlife Recovery Center is open for visits from Monday to Saturday, starting at 6 PM until sunset.
The Recovery Center is located within the Pedreres de s’Hostal of Líthica. To visit, you must first purchase an entry ticket to Líthica, which you can buy in advance at Líthica Visit (€4 for residents, €7 for non-residents, and free for children under 13). You can also buy tickets at the entrance for one euro more.
Access to the Pedreres de s’Hostal is at Camí Vell de Ciutadella, km 1. Once inside, come to the center, where an additional fee of €2 will be charged. Admission is free for children under 13.
You can find more details about each family activity in the main post on the Wildlife Recovery Center summer program.
Your visit greatly helps us in our work. We look forward to seeing you!
