Outreach

Our intrepid Safari Ranger is available to visit local primary, secondary, further and special schools to deliver exciting interactive workshops to your classes, for FREE!
Our Safari Ranger arrives with interesting biofacts (such as elephant tusks, snake skins, macaw feathers, skulls, porcupine quills or ostrich eggs), interactive activities and in some cases a live invertebrate – don’t worry, its perfectly safe!
Please see what workshops we offer below.
You’ll find our workshops great either as a stand-alone session or as preparation for your pupils’ visit to the zoo.
We’re always keen to chat with you and discuss your class’ needs before we visit.
