Jameson Experience

The Jameson Experience is an old whiskey distillery turned into a museum.

Day 174

The visitor centre is open since 1992 and is located in the Old Midleton Distillery. 

You can have a guided tour through the distillery which is around 75 minutes long and shows you how the Irish whiskey was made in the old distillery. It is very interesting to see the different fabrication steps and how the whiskey was made in this distillery. You can see the mill, the malting process and the huge pot stills which are the largest ever built.
Some people can take part in a whiskey tasting during the guided tour and a Jameson Signature drink is included in the entrance.
You can also visit the shop and buy different whiskey kinds or other merchandise related to whiskey.

Hanover Zoo

You can find the Hanover Zoo in the Zoo quarter of the city Hanover.

Day 141
Day 135
It is one of the oldest zoos in Germany and was founded in 1865. From 1990 onwards the zoo was converted into a more animal friendly place. 
You can find seven theme worlds in the zoo with different animals in each of them. There are Zambezi, which shows the African Savannah, the Gorilla Mountain, Yukon Bay, which leads you into a Canadian gold town, the Jungle Palace, the Australian Outback, Mullewap and Meyer's Farm. During the winter time there is also the Winter Zoo and some parts of the zoo are decorated around Christmas.

The entry fees are not that cheap but you can easily stay the whole day and take your time to see every corner of the zoo. When you're visiting with children it's maybe better when you take something to eat and to drink with you because food can be expansive as well.
One thing you have to do is to take the boat in Zambezi and see the African animals from the boat which gives you a different perspective. There are also feedings of different animals which you can watch.
In Hanover Zoo everyone can find a favourite animal.
