What makes this a great venue for School group Fun or Educational Visits?

Early Years Foundation, KS1 and KS2 activities are all practical and based in and around the park. School groups can have a mix of educational activities and leisure time to try out our brilliant rides and attractions, and discover our birds and animals.
Our secondary programmes bring learning to life, with students carrying out their own research or learning from our park staff.
