Drusillas Park

Drusillas Park contains over 70 species of animal including monkeys, penguins, meerkats, otters, flamingos, owls, red pandas and anteaters, plus a walk through lemur, rainbow lorikeet and bat/sloth enclosures. There are also many educational interactives such as the Zoolympics Challenges and Animal Spotter Trail with free booklets. The Education Department offers a wide variety of hands-on and interactive primary education sessions including Animal Encounters, Habitats & Adaptations, Rainforests, Fur, Feathers & Scales (Classification), Minibeasts, Conservation, Animal Care and Maasai Life. Most sessions involve animal encounters and use animal artefacts (e.g. tusks, shells and furs) on loan from HM Revenue and Customs. Once the learning is done children can let off steam in the indoor and outdoor adventure play areas and take a ride on our Safari Express train. There is also Hello Kitty Secret Garden which includes three rides, and our Rainforest Carousel, Flying Cheetahs and Hippopotabus rides. For older students talk and tours are provided, so students can learn about Drusillas as a successful zoo and visitor attraction. Topics offered range from Marketing, Customer Service and Business Studies to Conservation, Animal Care and Animal Behaviour. Schools gain large discounts on regular entry prices and free teacher preliminary visits are available. With all this and much, much more you’ll experience the most fun-funding-out day-out you can imagine!
