As a teacher in charge of school visits, you will always be looking
for new and exciting places of interest for the pupils at your school.

Children of all ages will enjoy hand feeding all the tame waterfowl, and especially our unique Hands-On feeding scheme, where they are encouraged to participate in the feeding of our Penguins, Wallabies, Macaws, and new for 2008, Bug & Reptile World.

Whenever possible we also try to let the children meet our tame animals and birds in Pets Corner, where their "feel and smell" really bring nature to life!

Education is foremost in our important conservation work, which can be seen in a variety of ways around the Park:

Discovery Zone with interactive material
Teacher's Pack linked to the National Curriculum Key stages 1, 2 & 3
(Designed working closely with local educational advisors)
Attractive readable signs, many especially for the children
Educational keeper presentations.

Whether you are organising an educational visit or a recreational day out, we guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Every school is made to feel very welcome with a friendly chat from a member of our staff before entering the Park. We are constantly striving to create the perfect day out with excitement, adventure, entertainment and education.

The Discovery Zone - our learning centre has evolved to become an outstanding place of education and
entertainment, with even more 'touch and do'. There are also viewing windows into the Squirrel Enclosure.

SPECIAL NEEDS
Seaview Wildlife Encounter is fully accessible to the disabled. People with learning disablities are made especially welcome and will be treated with dignity and understanding. Whenever possible, we will also try to help those with hearing and visual difficulties, for example encouraging them to cuddle a baby rabbit or maybe even stroke a penguin. Please mention any special needs your party may have, when making your booking.
N.B. Gravel paths with slopes.

Quote from 2005 visitors' book...
"Has to be the best animal park we have ever visited, far and beyond anywhere else. Everything from the layout to how well kept the animals & birds are kept, to the surroundings. Well done - brilliant day out."
