Walk of the week

Join one of our team on a relaxing guided walk around the Zoo.

This 90 minute walk and talk will be an opportunity to spend time with our experts, getting behind-the-scenes info and occasionally strolling off the beaten track of the Zoo. Each walk is held on a Thursday at 10.30am, starting from the Visitor Centre at the main entrance.

Meet other like-minded Zoo visitors and breathe in our big green spaces while admiring the picturesque surroundings - nurturing both body and mind.

Each week's walk will have a different theme, our upcoming schedule is:

• 9 January: How to train your...... zoo animals?  - Learn what it means when we talk about training our zoo animals. Join us as we dive in further into the incredible world of behaviour science. - This tour will be fully audio described.
