Home Educator Days
Dartmoor Zoo is a great place to get back to nature and learn about animals in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
Our Home Educator Days invite home-educated children and their families to explore the zoo for just £17.50 for one adult and one child. Each session has a different theme, with talks, trails, activities and drop-in sessions taking place across the zoo. Families can choose what to join, giving them the freedom and flexibility to enjoy the day at their own pace.
Booking for dates opens around a month before, so keep an eye on the website, or ask to join our mailing list to be the first to know.
Home Educator Day - Wednesday 11th November
Baby animals and breeding programmes
There has been a bit of baby boom here at the zoo recently so what better theme than celebrating our baby animals and learning all about the importance of breeding programmes with tours, hands-on activities, keeper encounters and challenges to enjoy throughout the day.
