Battersea Park Childrens Zoo

Our guided tours teach children in an educational but fun way about animals and birds.

We cover habitats, baby animals, colours, caring for animals, eating habits and much more. Tours can be tailored to suit relevant subjects related to the national curriculum.

We are located in a lovely position in Battersea Park close to the River Thames.

We have free parking for coaches with pre-booked permits.

Groups are welcome to leave the zoo and go for a stroll into the Park and then return to the zoo.

It is an enjoyable learning session for children and teachers alike. Along with the tour an educational pack is sent which includes information about the zoo and animals. There is time after the tour to complete work sheets in our cabins. We have schools that come back year after year.

An Education pack is sent out once a booking is made, with a letter allowing a free pre-visit for teachers to carry out a risk assessment. The day includes a guided tour, use of the cabin for lunch, an afternoon session in cabin and time to play in our well-equipped playground. We cater for ages 2-11 but can also adapt to suit older children and students. Our tours can be adapted to suit.

We can cater for group sizes between 15 and 60.

We provide a teacher’s pack which includes work sheets and suggestions for tour topics linked to the curriculum.

Photography of the animals and members of your own school group is permitted.

The risk assessment is included in the teacher’s pack and the teacher may visit anytime with a confirmation letter and risk assessment.
