Guided Sessions
We tailor our educational delivery to the needs of each group. This might include:
- adapting routes or locations
- varying the pace and delivery of activities
- providing additional processing time
- using alternative ways of exploring a topic
- spending longer on particular concepts
Our experienced education team works with a wide range of learners and can draw on this experience to make adjustments throughout your visit.
We value the input of teachers and support staff who know their pupils best, and you are welcome to give our Education Team a call when you book. We are very happy to talk through specific requirements, provide reassurances, answer questions about accessibility and work with you to plan the best possible experience for your learners.
Self-Guided Park Visits
If your group would rather take things at your own pace, you can also design your own day at the zoo with a self-guided park visit.
