Woburn Safari Park

At the heart of Woburn Safari Park are the twin roles of education and conservation.

A visit to the Park provides school children with a wonderful opportunity to see and get close to many endangered species, with over 1,000 wild animals living in wide-open parkland reserves.

Why visit Woburn on a school trip?

• Safari adventures by coach or bus as you travel through the Road Safari, coming face-to-face with a host of majestic animals
• Discover more in the Foot Safari and get up close to the animals in their walk-through enclosures
• Indoor and outdoor classrooms for fantastic learning experiences
• Watch a full programme of talks and demonstrations with penguins, wallabies, and birds of prey

Let off steam in one of the fantastic outdoor play areas

• Choose your own adventure with the flexibility to choose a school trip package and cost option that suits you.
• Meet the females of the Asian elephant herd as part of a special demonstration – Woburn Safari Park is the only attraction that offers visitors a ‘free contact’ elephant meet and greet in the UK.
• Get up close to lemurs, monkeys, penguins and meerkats in the Foot Safari during your school trip to the safari park.
• Benefit from a free daily programme of talks with sea lions, penguins, wallabies and red panda, as well as demonstrations with parrots and birds of prey.
• Climb aboard the Great Woburn Railway to visit brand new Alpaca Outpost, where you can meet and feed the alpaca herd.
• Make the most of a number of fun, free activities in the Leisure Area, including the brand new Dragon Boats on Swan Lake, a new outdoor adventure playground equipped with an array of obstacles, musical instruments and animal themed climbing activities and the Mammoth Play Ark; all great for letting off some steam.
• Each school can receive one family ticket (valid for two adults and two children to visit during 2019). This can be used for school fundraising or as a raffle prize.
• Teacher pre-visit vouchers (one per class) are available.
