Exciting Educational Animal Visits Across London
Bring the wild to your classroom with Wild Science’s Animal School Visits in London!
Our interactive educational workshops introduce children and students to a fascinating world of exotic animals like reptiles, mammals, amphibians, and invertebrates — right in their own school or nursery.
We’re passionate about inspiring curiosity, respect, and understanding for living things through fun, hands-on sessions across London. Our sessions perfectly combine education with entertainment.
Interactive Animal Encounters for Schools and Colleges
Our Animal School Visits to London are designed to give young people and adults a chance to explore and learn about nature. They do so in an engaging way. From the soft fur of rabbits and chinchillas to the smooth scales of reptiles such as snakes, tortoises, and lizards, every encounter is a new adventure.
Before every visit, our expert handlers conduct thorough risk assessments to ensure the safety of both the animals and participants. Students have the opportunity to observe, touch, and learn about various species. They discover how each one adapts to its unique habitat and environment.
Our educational sessions are suitable for all ages — from nurseries and primary schools to secondary schools and colleges. We can also visit care homes and community centres across London.
Reptile and Exotic Animal and Educational Workshops
Not every school can travel to a zoo or farm, so Wild Science brings the experience directly to you with mobile reptile encounters.
Our educational workshops feature an exciting range of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds. This provides an unforgettable learning opportunity for children and students of all age groups.
During our sessions, students can:
- Learn about animal behaviour, life cycles, and classification
- Understand how animals adapt to different environments
- Discuss what animals eat and how they survive in the wild
- Discover fascinating facts about reptiles, mammals, and amphibians
Each session is interactive and encourages students to ask questions, observe closely, and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Educational Benefits for Children and Students
Our Animal School Visits to London are not just fun — they’re scientifically enriching. We design every educational workshop to support curriculum-based learning and meet the national curriculum standards.
Students will:
- Explore classification, learning to tell vertebrates from invertebrates.
- Study life cycles — from tadpoles to frogs and caterpillars to butterflies.
- Discover habitats and ecosystems, from rainforests to deserts.
- Identify animal adaptations and understand how species evolve to survive.
These sessions make science lessons come alive, helping students develop curiosity, confidence, and teamwork skills while connecting with the natural environment.
