Schools and Colleges

Come and bring learning to life!

At Blackpool Zoo, we pride ourselves on being a Zoo for all by creating an engaging day out for children, taking them on an educational journey that allows them to discover different animals and the natural world, bringing learning to life.

Enhance your visit with an educational workshop, giving your students a unique and immersive zoo experience. Our workshops bridge classroom learning with our exclusive resources, enriching the understanding of curriculum science topics for your students. You can learn more about our workshops here.

Our Education Academy features three themed classrooms, each accommodating up to 30 students and each fully wheelchair accessible. For larger groups or multiple classes attending simultaneously, we offer spacious areas within the zoo that can host up to 200 attendees. This option is particularly popular among high schools and colleges.

New! Learn more about our Animal Sign Safari Tour below.

Our educational programmes are customised to suit any age or ability, and there is no limit on the number of students who can participate.  

We are a Zoo for all, with programmes tailor-made to suit any age, ability, or characteristic.  

We welcome school eco-councils and offer sustainability workshops and eco-champion advice panels and we offer hands on learning programmes available for smaller groups.

Stay in the loop!
