Schools can visit our education team throughout the year.

A full education visit costs £17.50 per class, plus our usual group admission fee.

There is a maximum of 35 pupils per visit.

Our full education visit includes:

  • interactive session with an education officer and a team of animals
  • an interactive CD with teachers' notes, trail map and worksheets
  • free admission for three teachers per class.

The interactive session lasts for 30 minutes (Key Stage 1) or 45 minutes (Key Stage 2 and 3).

To help keep everyone safe during visits, we have carried out a risk assessment which explains any potential hazards.

For more information or to book, call us on 028 9077 6277 (extensions 204 or 228).
