Educational Visits

Bring the Classroom to Wild Zoo!

Our school trips offer a unique, up-close experience with nature, unlike any other zoo. You’ll enjoy awe-inspiring, educational, and hilariously entertaining shows, including the UK’s largest bird show, all delivered with a personal touch.

You can choose between our Bronze, Silver, or Gold package, tailored to suit your budget. No matter which option you pick, one thing is certain—you and your class will create memories that last a lifetime.

Our school trips run from February half-term to October half-term. Can’t bear to be away from us for that long? Book your school onto our Santa’s Grotto experience in December 2025!
