Accessibility
  • Large print A3 trail cards are available for this event. 
  • Craft trays are available for those who are unable to sit at craft tables.
  • Although there will be tracking in place in any areas which are difficult to access, the majority of the trail takes place outside of pathways. 
  • On the last Sunday of the month, Whipsnade Zoo offers relaxed openings where visitors with additional needs can enter the Zoo earlier than normal (9am). The relaxed opening on 31 March takes place part way through the Easter event, and therefore, relaxed opening visitors will be able to pick up trail cards as they arrive at 9am and to access the events hub from 9.30am.
