Minimum group size


We do not have a minimum group size, although the number of adults per group can never exceed the number of children.

Sleepovers are great for cub scouts, brownies, school trips or birthday celebrations.


Over 20 children in your group?


1 adult per 5/6 children are eligible for a discounted ticket of £20
To be eligible for the discounted rate, all of the conditions below must apply:

1. There are more than 20 children in your group
2. Adults are over 18 years old

Capacity

75 places are available per sleepover.

Our sleepovers are much smaller than the ones in the museums. This will ensure you'll get much more out of the experience and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and find out about our animals.
