Bookings are now open for school trips during 2024. As well as a self-guided option, we are excited to announce that we are offering engaging curriculum-based workshops for a range of key stages (please see below). These involve activity-based learning linking to science and geography topics, with an opportunity to meet some small animals.

 

A group booking rate of £11.50 per student for general admission is offered to schools, with a minimum number of 20. We offer one free adult for every four children. Workshops will be charged at £40 each (for up to 30 pupils).

 

 Throughout January and February 2024 we will be offering a winter discount price for schools of £9.20 per student.
