Come and join one of our days out at the zoo especially for home educators!
There will be a range of topics available throughout the year so you can discover something new each time you come. We will be offering exciting enclosure sessions with one of our experienced zoo education officers and you can take part in our activities and listen to talks that will be happening at different animal enclosures around the zoo.
Enclosure meets
Join one of our educators at an animal exhibit as they chat about the animals and link them to the theme of the talk. Enclosure meets are open to all, although the content will be suitable, based on the national curriculum, for the age stated. Enclosure meets are free and there is no additional reservation required.
Reduced prices
We are offering reduced admission prices for Home Educators, with children aged 5 – 16 at £7.15 each, and adults at £10.45 each. There is a maximum of 1 adult per child under these rates, up to a maximum of up to 4 children per adult. Any additional children or adults outside of these will be charged standard day rates for admission.
