Hertfordshire Zoo are pleased to announce our brand-new Home Educator Days. During the month of March there will be three designated Home Educator Days, where young people who are educated at home can come and enjoy Hertfordshire Zoo at our discounted education group booking rate. We will also be offering several education sessions throughout the day that will be designed for students, which can be signed up to. Run by our team of highly skilled and dedicated Zoo Educators, these workshops will utilise multimedia resources alongside biofacts and 3D printed skulls.
Home Educator Days are charged at the discounted group booking rate on three days throughout March.
Wednesday 20th March
Thursday 28th March
You can choose either to come as a visit only or alternatively book one of our education sessions. The aim of these days are to accommodate all young people at our home educator days. Children between 2 and 16 attending an education session are £10.50. Children 2 years and over who are not attending an education session are £9.50. Accompanying adults are £15. Children under 2 are free.
Discover the amazing animals that live in the most diverse habitats on Earth, what makes them so unique and how they have adapted to survive there. We will also learn about rainforest destruction and what we can do to help.
Ever wondered what makes a mammal a mammal? Or a bird a bird? Struggling to know the difference between a reptile and an amphibian? Your children will come up close and personal with a number of artefacts, such as skins and furs, to show the difference between vertebrates such as mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians in this interactive and engaging session.
Come face to face with some of Hertfordshire Zoos resident dinosaurs. Our education team will lead you around parts of our World of Dinosaurs. A great opportunity to learn about the incredible adaptations of some of the prehistoric dinosaurs we have here at the park.
Come and join one of our educators at ‘Land of the Tigers’ for a talk all about our incredible Amur tigers. Find out about some of their amazing adaptations and understand the threats they face out in the wild. This is an opportunity to learn about this fascinating species with the backdrop to the talk being their state-of-the-art habitat.
How do you track a Lion? How can we save a Snow Leopard? With animals losing their habitats at an alarming rate and species on the verge of extinction, Hertfordshire Zoo is doing everything it can to support conservation across the globe. Students will be given the opportunity to find out the threats to wildlife by getting up close to seized artefacts (courtesy of HM customs). It’s now or never for wildlife conservation and your children could have the answers!
