These days, zoos and wildlife parks have a vital role to play in educating people about wildlife and its conservation. Our planet’s true wealth – its biodiversity – has never looked more fragile. It will survive only if people are taught to realise its value and to care.
The Curraghs Wildlife Park, with its unique wetland setting and animals from around the world, is an exciting and inspirational place of learning for all ages. Nothing compares to coming face to face with real animals – with their help we can make learning an unforgettable experience.
We now also run a lively Public Education Programme designed to deliver informal learning opportunities for all our visitors. With the help of volunteers, we run a wide range of talks, presentations, displays and activities. The focus is always on fun and enjoyment, so it’s quite likely that visitors won’t even notice they are learning! Choose one of the many workshops from our Education Programme, or just get in touch (liz.brunswick@gov.im) to discuss how you’d like us to plan a session especially to suit your topic.
A hands-on encounter with some of the Park’s invertebrates and reptiles is normally included in most of our sessions.
