Education

We believe that we have the one of the UK’s best learning environments.

With over 250 species of animal, a narrow-gauge railway, an exciting playground and 160 acres of beautiful and highly accessible parkland; what better way to bring the National Curriculum to life?

Whether you are coming for a self-guided visit or would like to have one of our interactive talks, we understand that any visit to the Park must fit in with your learning requirements. The Park is the perfect place to bring your classroom work to life and your pupils won’t even realise they are learning!

We offer a wide range of talks and tours with nearly all of them delivered by our keepers and Education staff out in the Park using the animals as the ideal backdrop to illustrate your topic.

Pre-school & Foundation

Wonder at the animals, watch feeding talks, play on our amazing adventure playground and take
a train ride.

Primary
Key Stage 1 & 2

This is the perfect age to inspire children to a life-long love of animals.

Secondary
Key Stage 3 & 4

We believe that for children in these key stages, a visit to the Park will be greatly enhanced with an
education session.

SEN Schools

At the Park we know that every SEN group is unique and we can organise a wide range of talks specifically for your group.

Further & Higher Education

We run a wide range of talks specifically tailored to A-Level, College and University Level courses.
