Explore and Learn
10.30am – 3pm daily (drop-in)
Explore a range of self-led engaging activities for families set up across three separate classrooms, facilitating learning across all levels.
Learn about the natural world using skins and skulls, as well as some live animals, to explore topics such as food chains, classification and adaptation.
Our knowledgeable and friendly education team will also be on hand to support your learning and answer all your questions!
Journey of Discovery (age 9+)
11am & 1.30pm daily
Join us in our lecture theatre for an interactive, educator led, journey of discovery into the evolution of cats from saber tooths to panthera (lions, tigers, snow leopards, leopards, and jaguars).
Find out more about Marwell’s big cats, and how the snow leopard and Amur tiger have more in common than you think!
Pirate Adventure Storytime (all ages welcome)
12.30pm daily
Set sail on a swash-buckling journey around the world in search of all the big cats in our new storytime adventure. Our unlikely hero is a conservation conscious pirate, determined to save the world from extinction with the help of a pawsome crew!
…and explore the zoo!
Let off steam on our playgrounds, take a ride on the road train, and of course, see our resident animals. Don’t forget to download our app to check our daily animal feed times and plan your day.
Your visit helps support our conservation work, both here at the zoo and around the world.
