For ZooSchool programme attendees, please check your confirmation email for the exact meeting point, as it differs by programme.

For schools, what is the minimum/maximum class size?
To ensure the best learning experience, we recommend a minimum of 15 children, capped at 30 per session. Each group should have 1 accompanying teacher for every 15 children to support smooth management and enriching learning for all.
What happens if it rains on the day of a programme?

Our staff will take the necessary precaution of guiding your group to the nearest shelter.

We may then adjust the programme to provide a more appropriate experience. We highly recommend that all participants bring their own rain gear.
