EDUCATION AT NEWQUAY ZOO

Education is an important role of a modern zoo, whether it is learning about endangered habitats and animals, encouraging language skills or gaining an insight into the business of tourism. We have two indoor classrooms and an inspiring 10 acre animal-filled one outdoors as well!  One of our classrooms is available for corporate bookings.
 
Learning Outside the Classroom

 

 

Newquay Zoo has shown itself to be at the top of the class for educational visits by being awarded a Learning Outside the Classroom Quality Badge.
