Information for School Visits
School visits to the ARK
ARK Wildlife & Dinosaur Park welcomes school visits.
We welcome school visits not only by offering the park’s services but also by providing animal encounter talks for the visiting school with Q&A sessions at the end to bring learning to life.
Getting children out and into different environments is a proven way to enhance learning. With over 200 rescue animals on site there is plenty to explore at this Lincolnshire based zoo.

Testimonial
“I’m writing to express my sincere gratitude to your staff for their exceptional support during our school trip to your site yesterday. Everyone we encountered was incredibly helpful and welcoming particularly the lady in the cafe, who was absolutely brilliant.
The students had a fantastic day. They thoroughly enjoyed the talk, which was both insightful and engaging, The keepers were also wonderful, very knowledgeable and great with the kids.
Thank you once again for allowing us to visit. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable experience.”
