School groups and trips

We’ll take the hassle out of organising your school trip.

We’ve got a schools information pack prepared for teachers which includes all the required risk assessments. We can make up food or ice cream vouchers for your visit. And we offer a fabulous discounted rate for school groups.

The educational opportunities at Folly Farm are endless. From listening to our recorded zoo talks to seeing farmyard favourites in the Jolly Barn, there’s always something to learn.

Just click on the link below to fill out our school trip booking form and we’ll send you a confirmation email. It’s as easy as that.

Here’s how we can help make your day go as smoothly as possible:
