School Tours:

This type of visit is suitable for primary and secondary schools along with Scout groups, Brownies and Girl Guide groups too.

Learning becomes interactive when the students take part in a 45 minute handling session with some of our education team during their school/group tour!

Information is tailored to suit the age group of the students and they are encouraged to ask questions as they embark on a guided tour of our zoo, learning about everything from what the animals eat to how they shed their skin and how they catch their prey to their defense mechanisms and much more!

After their educational tour and handling, students then have the opportunity to have even more fun in our indoor soft play area and are free to use both our indoor and outdoor picnic areas!

Zoo to You – Parties

Birthday, communion, confirmation and much more!

If you want your party to be unique we can come to you and make it a highlight of a lifetime for you and your guests. 

  • Animals brought range from pythons to gecko lizards, tarantulas to scorpions!
  • Sessions last up to 1.5 hours and are tailored to suit the age group
  • A unique learning experience which will last for a life time
  • Fully licensed and insured, all sessions are carried out by trained professionals (did you know that under the European Zoo Directive, that any organisation using exotic animals for shows or education, must hold a Zoo Licence?)
