Educational Courses and Tours

Fota Wildlife Park plays an important role in helping to educate more than 15,000 students every year, when they visit the Park as part of their primary, secondary or tertiary education programmes. Our mission focuses on conservation and global biodiversity, and our Education team are experts in making this accessible and fun for students of all ages and abilities to discover. Learning materials and content can be adapted to suit any requirements, and the exciting habitats and environments within the Park are perfectly suited to a practical exploration of these themes.

Our younger visitors are always excited to find out more about the animals they see as they explore the Park, and talking to the Rangers about their daily experience of caring for the creatures here can help to develop their understanding of different species, as well as concepts such as extinction and habitats. Visiting various habitats, for example, and finding out which animals thrive within them, is a great hands-on way to understand why animals live in different places and what can happen when their habitats are threatened.

You can find out more about our full range of Educational Tours and Courses here and remember that we are very happy to work with you to design a tour or programme of study that will suit you and your students. You can contact our Educational Team to talk about the options for your tour, and we can help you to make the most of your visit.
