Onsite Animal School Visits
​
The Zoo Tour (£10 per child)
The Zoo Tour is our most popular onsite school package!
​
Your class will join us in our outdoor classroom with one of our keepers meeting lots of our animals along the way!
Then it's on to the minibeast hunt, this takes part in the amazing Cedars Park! Which invertebrates will your school discover?
​
We finally finish with a meerkat feed through the open window of our meerkat enclosure!
​
The Zoo Tour lasts around 1 - 1.5 hours
​
General Zoo School Visits £2.40 Per Person
​
This is a self led general visit to Cedars Nature Centre, you can enjoy your visit at your schools pace and join in with our public talks (please note these are public talks and not bespoke like our Zoo Tour).
​
Please let us know if you are looking to visit as a general visitor as due to the size of Cedars Nature Centre we can only book one school visit a day.
​
Alternative Provisions

We also provide Alternative Provisions for Charities and schools onsite at Cedars Nature Centre.
​
These are bespoke 1:1 sessions at the zoo, meeting, learning and helping with the animals living on site. These sessions last up to 1 hour.

From relaxed nursery school visits to curriculum based school lectures. We provide animals that will fit all topics! Rainforests, habitats, diets and adaptations are curriculum staples and we can adapt the talks to any topic you are covering, no matter how unique!
Secondary
Looking for something more in depth? We can also cater our presentations for secondary curriculum based topics such as evolution, classification and taxonomy, ecosystems and the environment.​​​

We regularly work with children with Special Educational Needs at various schools and events throughout the year.
Each SEN group receives a bespoke workshop adapted to the groups needs with animals chosen accordingly.
