The BBK Klima Abentura center kicks off its new season this weekend, located in the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. The park will feature 17 new installations, notably a scanner allowing visitors to discover their environmental footprint and the new 'Natura Fugit' exhibition by Jesús Mari Lazkano. Additionally, it will bring back acoustic concerts, open-air cinema, tastings, workshops, and the reopening of its swimming pools.
In the new season, the environmental footprint generated by unconscious daily decisions is presented as the threat weakening Diwo, the park's main character. To counter this, Klima Abentura has launched a scanner to measure visitors' impact on the planet. Subsequently, they will need to choose a route – water, energy, food, or fashion – and overcome the challenges proposed in games and installations to restore balance to the Earth.
Throughout the route, participants will use a passport linking the scanner's results to their chosen path. BBK officials stated this will "assist them in the mission to improve their impact on the planet." Among the park's installations are zip lines, a climbing wall, and a free-fall descent, serving as a metaphor for the "leap" required to adopt more sustainable habits.
Other installations include a large-format space inspired by the 'Who's Who' game, an 'Inflatable Greenhouse' for completing challenges related to sustainable food, and 'Spin and Throw' offering routes and challenges for discarding symbolic waste. The 'Habits's Catapult' installation encourages knocking down blocks representing various pollutants, and based on the classic game of battleship, 'Islands of Trash' allows for the removal of trash islands.
The park also features 'Ball Fishing,' a pool filled with colored balls – each linked to a type of waste – for "fishing" elements corresponding to the route and returning water to its natural state. A giant version of the classic memory game, 'Memo XL,' and the technological installation 'Digital Shot' will allow visitors to "attack" a large screen with foam balls to "decarbonize Bizkaia." Furthermore, 'Underwater Drawings' will enable coloring marine animals and seeing "how they come to life" on an interactive screen.
The 'Domo 360º' space will offer an immersive experience for a "sensory journey through climate, biodiversity, and the planet's ecosystems." The new 'Twister' installation will take the classic game to a larger scale, and the immersive, mobile space 'Ulysses Experience' will invite visitors to dive into the waters of the Bay of Biscay, demonstrating the impact of marine debris and plastic pollution in oceans and rivers.
Additionally, the park will host Jesús Mari Lazkano's exhibition 'Natura Fugit.' It will feature a documentary screening and a selection of 23 pieces reflecting on landscape transformation and the consequences of climate change, displayed within the 'Domo 360º' space.
