Father's Day at Eco Park Foz - August 10 - will be marked by a series of activities aimed at promoting a connection between fathers and their children, based on nature. The program, which will include a drawing workshop and exhibitions, will start at 9 a.m. and won't end until 5 p.m., when the park closes.
Right at the entrance to the park, parents and children will be able to see an exhibition full of curiosities: "Parents and Children in the Animal World". There will be examples of male animals looking after their young. These include the seahorse. In this species, the male is responsible for gestation and childbirth. The female lays the eggs in the male's incubator pouch to be fertilized and develop. After the incubation period, the male "gives birth" to the young. But there are many others with this function in nature, such as the emperor penguin, the rhea and the caiman.
Another light and fun moment where parents and children can create great memories will be in the painting workshop: Father Drawing Versus Son Drawing. Both will be given a theme to draw. The ultimate goal is not to compare who draws better, but to express feelings in the form of a painting.
Flight of the Birds and Primate Forest
In between activities, families can enjoy a walk and controlled interaction with the animals at Fazendinha, watching free training with the Creole horses where the animal communicates freely with the trainer, without the use of a saddle or bridle, demonstrating connection, trust, partnership and respect between human and animal.
Afterwards, you can immerse yourself in the Aviary for birds rescued from mistreatment and the Primate Forest, the only enclosure with free monkeys in Brazil. Finally, there will be a presentation by the Birds of Prey.
And throughout the day, there will be space for children and adults to walk around the lawn of Eco Park Foz and find a good place to stretch out their towel and have a picnic. There's also an Owl Moment, a lake for pedalos and a playground.
At the end of the day, all fathers will receive an Eco Dad certificate.
