The Grand Opening: World Pride Kids
World Pride is for everyone. So for children too! Celebrate the official opening of World Pride Kids and be the first to discover the Natural Heroes Expedition at ARTIS.
Experience a festive morning full of special animal stories, adventure, wonder, and encounters. Discover natural heroes from the animal kingdom, be inspired by the power of differences, and celebrate together the start of two weeks of activities for children and families during World Pride 2026.
During this special opening, we are also celebrating the premiere of two new picture books: Seahorse Zeno and Black Swan Sebastian. Stories inspired by real animals that show that diversity is not an exception – diversity *is* nature.
Come discover, play, learn, inspire, and marvel.
Be a hero. Be yourself.
