Abstract: Zoos and animal parks, which have the ambition of being attractive for international visitors, should implement a multilingual visitor information system. The Research and Development Project at the University of Applied Sciences (in Berlin), aided by funds from the European Union, is developing components for a multilingual visitor information system together with its cooperating partner, the Zoological Garden Berlin. This paper will introduce the digital labels of enclosures as a contribution to informal learning in zoos.
