Isle of Wight Zoo
 

Outreach Programme

Free Introductory & Follow-Up Sessions

If you are planning a trip to the zoo we offer an introductory or follow up session at your school. The session aims to reinforce the topic studied and enables the students to concentrate on observing, listening and discussing at the zoo.

Free Special Interest Talks & Presentations

If you are studying a special topic or holding an activity or awareness day why not enquire about a visit from the Education Officer. This is a great way to bring a bit of excitement and expert knowledge into your students day.
