Educational

Available on Monday and Tuesday , from 08.30 to 12.00.

Our stance on Education is very close to our hearts. We strive to give Primary and Secondary School Students exposure to the complexities and wonders of aquatic mammals, the life of reptiles and the wonders of tropical birds. Our Educational Programmes are engaging and fun – they serve as interactive educational classes for students learning Biology.

Our programme engages students with the Parrots, Reptiles and Dolphins in our care.

This first-hand exposure gives children and students the confidence to ask questions and learn more about our animals.
