School souvenirs
Pre-purchase souvenirs for your students and have them ready and waiting for you on arrival.
Our line of keyrings, notebooks, pencils and more will be fond momento of their time spent at the Zoo and some of our iconic animals. Souvenirs can be ordered up to 3 days in advance of your visit and be picked up on the day of your visit at the gift shop, or delivered directly to your school (extra costs apply).
