Woburn Safari Park Bedfordshire

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
