Description
Nothing beats seeing animals in real life and a trip to ZSL London Zoo is a brilliant opportunity to take your learning outside the classroom. With over 20,000 animals calling the Zoo home, exciting exhibits to explore and multiple routes to take, it’s the ultimate learning adventure.
Safety is our top priority and we want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable visit. Our zoo COVID-safety measures and school Risk Assessment can be found on our website.
We also have a range of workshops and self-guided resources for 4-18 year olds, linking the National Curriculum and Exam Board syllabi to our conservation work.

Everything inside the zoo was very expensive so it is much better if studetns bring their own food and drinks with them. (September 2024 - Secondary School)

The fact that students had to be accompanied at all times made this quite difficult as the students found this restrictive and difficult. The coach parking arrangements also made it difficult with arranging pick up and drop off. (July 2024 - Secondary School)

I loved that they shared educational trip maps showing places for large groups to eat, toilets, quiet spaces. really helpful. As we came in they gave 2 large bin bags for us to put rubbish into once we had eaten our lunch. Very organised. They came round and collected it. (July 2024 - Primary School)

As the S4 Art curriculum includes a project about London Zoo, visiting the zoo itself gave students not only a better understanding of how a zoo is run, but also gave the opportunity to use the animals as sources for observational drawing, and photography that can be used as primary sources for later pieces.

Great place to visit at very good cost to school. Look at rules of zoo in prep.
Walk from Regents park is most off road but kids do get tired on feet all day. Card only as refreshment except main shop, give 20 mins to go through shop.

Zoo it self was great and very interesting. The workshop was very basic for what we are paying for, although engaging didn't add to the trip. The workshop was just a room for students to touch animal skins, was mostly adult run by the school. Was almost as if paying for the room. (March 2022 - Primary School)
Students had a great time, some kiosks were not open as we visited during off-peak season but this allowed the students more time to explore all the zoo had to offer. (March 2022 - Secondary School)
Staff took emergency contact details on arrival. We were welcomed quickly and efficiently as we came into the zoo. Staff around the zoo were friendly and answered all questions made by the children. (March 2022 - Primary School)

Excellent value for money. Attending a rain forest educational session which was great and all the children were engaged (February 2020 - Primary School)
An excellent trip. The students enjoyed the trip but also learnt lots from the two talks which they can apply to their study of psychopathology. (February 2020 - Secondary School)

Such a fabulous experience for young children. The nativity trail is amazing and we all loved the animals. The penguins were particularly playful which the children loved. Well organised by the staff. (January 2020 - Primary School)
Friendly and helpful staff that provided clear directions and support.
The children loved the living nativity and this was a great hands on experience to further consolidate learning about the Nativity. The children enjoyed looking at the range of animals and discussing their different habitats. (December 2019 - Primary School)

Very smooth entrance to the Zoo - different queues for school and individual visitors made the process speedy. Slightly unclear signposting around, we used the Zoo maps but at times we struggled to find our way to particular parts of the Zoo. (July 2019 - Secondary School)

An excellent experience for our students. Being involved in the conservation work through art and business was invaluable. (September 2018 - Secondary School)
The education session which he has booked on to had been double booked. We were then unable to do this session, unless we paid £2 per student. This was poorly dealt with. However, at all other times, the staff were helpful, and the zoo was good. (July 2018 - Secondary School)
