WE'RE WILD ABOUT SECONDARY SCHOOL EDUCATION!

From sustainability to STEM or geography, ZooLab's team of expert Rangers use experiential learning techniques to empower and bring the curriculum to life

 

The learning doesn't stop here! From  Autumn term, ZooLab's core workshops will include pre-lesson resources, a hands-on workshop and a teacher presentation to follow up learning at no extra cost, giving you even more value.

"We had a fantastic day yesterday with Eilidh. She was energetic and full of knowledge about each animal. She took time to answer questions and made the workshop as interactive as possible"
