The content of the courses will be a mixture of making animal enrichment, themed challenges and fun Zoo themed activities. A sample outline of both courses is below, but please be aware that timings and activities are all subject to change.

‘Egg-cellent Animals’ focuses on animal classification and lifecycles. Children will learn about animals that lay eggs, handle a range of animal species and go behind the scenes of animal enclosures.

‘Animal Antics’ focuses on animal habitats and amazing adaptations they have to survive. Children will learn about different animal habitats, put some adaptations to the test in our amazing animal obstacle course, handle a range of animals and go behind the scenes of animal enclosures.

The courses are run independent of each other on alternative days.
