ABOUT THE FAIR
The Nature-Health Fair – more than a fair, a true family experience.
The Nature-Health Fair remains one of Slovenia’s key events in the fields of health, well-being, local food, physical activity and living in harmony with nature. The fair continues to evolve into a multi-day festival experience where visitors can combine learning, entertainment and hands-on activities in one place.
Dedicated to a healthy lifestyle, the event connects all generations and serves as a meeting point for families, children and pet enthusiasts, while bringing together three events: the Nature-Health Fair, the Exotic Animals Exhibition Bioexo, and the LEGO masterpiece exhibition Planet Kock.
BIOEXO
Exotic Animals Exhibition
The Nature-Health Fair continuously captivates visitors with its diverse content that goes beyond the traditional exhibition offering. One of the long-standing attractions is the BIOEXO exhibition of exotic animals, organized by the Society of Exotic Animal Enthusiasts Bioexo. Through engaging presentations of lesser-known animal species, the exhibition opens the door to a world of diversity, learning, and respect for nature.
PLANET KOCK
This year, Planet Kock joins the Nature-Health Fair for the first time, bringing a LEGO exhibition, LEGO play zones, LEGO competitions and a LEGO bazaar. The event features inspiring LEGO creations and interactive content for both young and adult enthusiasts of creative building.
