'Animal Encounters'

Our 'Animal Encounters' schools programmes are designed to complement a variety of national curriculum skills and topics in
science, history and geography for pupils at Key Stages 1, 2 & 3.
These visits are based at the Centre with its collection of over
forty different British wild animals and birds. This is a unique opportunity for children to learn about Britain's wildlife - a real
life natural history lesson!

Unlike many similar venues, we will not be open to the public
during your visit - ensuring a safe and inspiring trip!
All school
