The Learning and Discovery team are excited to announce that our Mini Explorers programme is back for 2024! This exciting two-day kids club for children aged 6 – 7, is perfect for your little ones who love wildlife and being outdoors!

Each day runs 9:30am – 3:00pm and Mini Explorers will discover lots about our animals on the foot safari with the chance to either watch an exclusive animal feed, or make an exciting present for one of these animals every day! We will also be taking a VIP tour of the Safari Drive to explore many different continents - hopefully seeing all 800 of our animals! Also included within the two days are lots of fun games, crafts and other activities that the children can get involved in.

Knowsley Academy
Our Knowsley Academy programme is designed for those aged 15 – 18 who are serious about a career working as a vet, zoologist, keeper, zoo educator or conservationist!

The days will run from 9:00am – 4:00pm. Participants will be given a certificate along with a portfolio of their work to take home and use to further any applications/interviews. You can also add on a branded hoody for just £25! If you order a hoodie, please email [email protected] with a size request. Please note that sizes will depend on stock availability.

This 2-day programme is designed for those serious about a career working as a vet, zoologist, keeper, zoo educator or conservationist. There will be a mix of theory sessions and practical activities based around the animals both on our foot safari and on our safari drive using the baboon bus! Animal activities may vary but can include making enrichment for our animals, an animal enclosure muck out, keeper Q&A and conducting behavioural studies.

We will also get stuck into some controversial issues facing animal welfare today and get a behind the scenes look at a day in the life of our Zoo Vet Jen. Throughout the 2 days we will explore the biology of some of the animals living here, including their habitats, diets and social structure. As well as this, we will take a look at the work our Research and Conservation team do both with us at Knowsley Safari and out in the Wild too!
