Sponsors
Knies Kinderzoo would like to thank the following partners for their generous commitment
Energy 360° - Partner education concept
Satisfy your thirst for knowledge
Knies Kinderzoo and Energy 360° - committed to the next generation
Thanks to their curiosity, children are always discovering new things. With the innovative educational system at Knies Kinderzoo , Energie 360° enables them and their parents to learn about numerous animal species and breeds at 20 learning stations with a five-level info pyramid. To ensure that the children of today can still live in an intact environment tomorrow, Knies Kinderzoo and Energie 360° are also breaking new ground with their energy concept: they are using the water of the Obersee as an energy source for heating and hot water. In this way, Knies Kinderzoo saves 100,000 liters of heating oil per year - as a contribution to sustainable development.
St.Galler Kantonalbank - Mammoth partner
Knies Kinderzoo combines its long-standing tradition with contemporary innovations. The new "Himmapan" elephant park is impressive proof of this. In addition to regional ties, tradition and innovation are also core values for St.Galler Kantonalbank - which is why we are particularly proud to be a mammoth partner of the new elephant park.
Growing together
Knies Kinderzoo and St.Galler Kantonalbank - a living partnership
For over five decades, Knies Kinderzoo has been one of the most popular leisure facilities in eastern Switzerland for young and old alike. It is impossible to imagine the town of Rapperswil-Jona and the Lake Zurich region without this world of adventure. At the same time, Knies Kinderzoo successfully combines its long-standing tradition with contemporary innovations. The new "Himmapan" elephant park is impressive proof of this. This major project - the largest in the history of Knies Kinderzoo - successfully continues the Knie family's passion for elephants and its 90-year tradition. On the one hand, the unique elephant enclosure is a clear commitment to the conservation of this highly endangered species; on the other, it will make the gentle giants happy and bring a sparkle to children's eyes. St.Galler Kantonalbank is delighted to be a mammoth partner of the new elephant park. The partnership between Knies Kinderzoo and St.Galler Kantonalbank is based on shared values such as tradition and regional ties.
SGKB has grown with the region of Eastern Switzerland and has been closely associated with it for over 140 years. SGKB fulfills its special responsibility as a cantonal bank with various commitments in the social and cultural life of Eastern Switzerland and thus actively contributes to a diverse range of cultural and leisure activities in all regions of its market area. In keeping with the motto "Growing together", we look forward to a successful partnership and would like to thank the Knie family for their long-standing commitment to the children's zoo. We wish everyone involved a successful final spurt in this ambitious construction project and are already looking forward to the opening celebrations in May.
