Zoosnooz
Bring your creatures to spend a night with ours!
Zoosnooz is a unique sleepover experience and a great way for your students to learn about animals and the environment.
Your students will:
- Enjoy a great BBQ dinner and supper under the stars.
- Discover wild creatures on your 'after hours' zoo walk
- Get close to amazing mammals and a whole lot of other Zoo residents with a lesson in the Education Centre
- Enjoy breakfast then go ‘Behind the Scenes' on the early morning walk
- Spend the following day in the stimulating learning environment of the Zoo
Zoosnooz is great fun and can be incorporated into any curriculum-related excursion for your students. It's also good for team building.
