Yes. We ask that staff members ensure children are supervised at all times during the visit. If the group is slightly older, we still ask that staff are present around the site to manage pupil behaviour as they visit the animal enclosures, play on the playgrounds and enjoy their picnic.

There is free parking for coaches and 800 cars on site. On fine days, it is recommended that your coach parks at the top of the first car park and the group walks down to the zoo past the deer enclosures. On very wet days, the coaches may drive down through the car park and deposit passengers near the Ticket Office and return to the coach park.
