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

Robin Hill is one of the best visitor attractions on the Isle of Wight to bring your school or group.

The park’s 88 acres give plenty of room for your party to run free and let off some steam...and with its big mix of features and attractions, it makes a whole day out and excellent value for money compared to smaller attractions who’s “pound per hour” value is very much smaller. It’s no wonder nearly 16,000 school pupils come through our gates each year to enjoy the park.

What are the Curriculum Topics or Benefit to the students from a visit?

Robin Hill can easily be used as an excellent educational facility for your school or group during visit. In fact we offer some of the best wildlife and nature interpretation on the Isle of Wight and our countryside site can be used for many nature orientated activities and study projects which school or group leaders can tailor to their own needs.

Our Tree House Centre provides a wealth of information about the native plants and animals that can be found here in our woodland and on the Island in general. This is ideal for nature projects and fact-finding work.

Food chains and ecosystems are introduced at a basic level and interactive exhibits help enforce the learning aspect. Children are encouraged to go out into the woodland and explore the woodland for themselves.

Robin Hill is the best place on the Island, if not in England, to see Red Squirrels and this message is enforced in the Tree House Centre and at Red Squirrel hot spots around the park. Our weekly Red Squirrel safari, on Friday’s at 3.30pm (Thurs in Sept & Oct) is a great opportunity for school groups to get a free guided nature tour of the park that highlights the many reasons, from a geographical and biological viewpoint...and why the Island has such an abundant Red Squirrel population.
