Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover
Address: Adenauerallee 1, 30175 Hannover, Germany
For the GET2026 evening programme, we welcome you to the Prunksaal des Maharadscha at the Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover. Transporting you to a world of magnificent palaces, rich colors, and intricate details, this mystical hall features hand-painted wall decorations, high-reaching paintings, and ornate columns that offer a setting you will not find anywhere else in the city.
Attending the evening here is also a chance to experience a true Hanover landmark. Established in 1865, the zoo is one of Europe’s oldest theme zoos, combining a rich heritage with species conservation and unique event architecture.
Getting to the Venue
The Erlebnis-Zoo Hannover is located very close to the Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC), where the conference takes place. It is just a short 10-minute walk through the Stadtpark, or 1 metro or bus station (stop at Hannover Zoo).
Evening Schedule
18:45 Arrival & Walk to the Hall: Please meet at the Zoo Main Entrance. Do not forget to bring your conference badge! Once inside, delegates will walk independently from the main entrance to the Indischer Dschungelpalast (Indian Jungle Palace). The path is illuminated for nighttime walkability and clearly marked with pink “Prunksaal” direction signs.
19:30 Dinner, followed by dance
00:00 End of the conference evening
Important Venue Guidelines
Badge Access: Venue access is strictly restricted to delegates wearing their conference badge. Please bring it along!
Footwear Recommendation: Kindly avoid wearing high heels, as the walk to the hall features outdoor paths and paved surfaces.
Designated Paths Only: Delegates must remain on the designated, illuminated walkway at all times. Entering any animal enclosures or stepping off the signed paths is strictly prohibited.
Animals at Night: Please note that animals will not be visible in their habitats during the evening event. Lighting along the paths is intentionally dimmed and regulated to avoid disturbing the animals and local wildlife.
