Discovery and Learning
Education has been at the heart of RZSS for over four decades and sits within the Discovery and Learning team. We have engaged with over one million learners across both Edinburgh Zoo and the Highland Wildlife Park.
From nursery to tertiary and beyond encompassing both formal and informal learning, the team create and deliver unique experiences for learners and daily visitors, encouraging excitement and exploration though interactive learning programmes and interpretation.
Wherever you're learning, we're still here to support you!
We have a range of FREE and FUN online activities for families and children of all ages, dedicated resources for home educators, and you can even still visit the zoo with our Virtual Tours!
