The Welsh Mountain Zoo
The Welsh Mountain Zoo is a marvellous living resource. Nothing can replace the excitement and wonder of looking closely at a live animal.
Look at its size, its colour, its movement ......... Listen to it, smell it ....... .......... a living lesson!
The excitement and wonder of learning about animals through close contact cannot be replaced by video or television and is hard to reproduce in the classroom.
We hope we can inspire future generations to act in a positive way to help preserve wild animals in their natural habitat.
All of our resources have been designed to cover aspects of the National Curriculum, so a visit is really invaluable.
There's lots to learn out in the Zoo too. Chimp Encounter: Our live presenter will introduce members of the chimpanzee family to zoo visitors. This zoonique presentation enables visitors to encounter chimpanzees and learn about their life in the wild through an audio visual presentation (at the chimpanzee enclosure).
Our Bird Show is designed to show the differences between bird species and the Sealion Feeding & Training sessions offer a chance to find out more about our fascinating sealions.
There is an opportunity to talk to the keepers involved and ask them questions. These sessions are well worth watching and can enhance follow-up work back at school / college. |
