Home Educator Day

Back by popular demand – Home Educator Day!

We're thrilled to announce a new date, with an amazing theme to match!

Thursday 6th March – Animal Behaviour and Research

How do we know our animals are happy and healthy? How do we make sure we can offer them the best types of enrichment, diet and enclosure? It all comes down to animal behaviour and research. On this Home Educator Day, you can become a researcher for the day, learn about the amazing world of animal behaviour and get hands on with some of the research equipment we use at Dartmoor Zoo.

Our Home Educator Days are designed to welcome home educated children and their families to come and explore the zoo for just £15 (one adult and one child) with a different theme running each session. The days are designed to offer flexibility and freedom with talks and activities running across the site, or why not book onto one of our educator-led workshops to take an interactive dive into the topic.
