School Tours at Dublin Zoo

Dublin Zoo welcomes over 65,000 learners a year. From pre-school to primary and secondary school and right up to third level, there is always something to learn with a Dublin Zoo School tour.

Our experienced and passionate Discovery and Learning team deliver both formal and informal education programmes around Dublin Zoo to meet the needs of the group, with a number of programmes linking directly to the national curriculum. We offer both face-to-face and virtual learning programmes.

Pre-School Learning

The early years are an important stage in children’s lives when they find out about and make sense of their surroundings by interacting with others. Dublin Zoo now offers four pre-school programmes: Wonderful Wildlife, Dinosaur Explorer, Farmtastic Food and Winter Woolies

Primary School Learning

The Discovery and Learning Department at Dublin Zoo has an exciting range of DPSM accredited programmes for primary schools. Designed to tie in with the SESE curriculum, our unique sessions give students from junior infants to sixth class a greater appreciation for native and worldwide wildlife. 

Secondary Learning

Spanning topics from evolution to sustainability to ecology, the Dublin Zoo secondary school programmes offer a wide range of topics suited to the national curriculum. Get your class out and about in the zoo for some interactive and novel learning experiences.

School tours

Stonehall Wildlife Park is a must for all students to enjoy a great day out with their class mates.

Stonehall Wildlife Park has 25 years of experience welcoming Schools to the Park so we know what teachers and children want and enjoy.

We give the students a fully guided tour of the exotic and domestic animals in the park which include Ostriches Emus Llamas Alpacas Meerkats  a variety of Birds of Prey and the domestic breeds from Sheep Ponies Ducks Geese. The small animals such as Chipmunks Bunnies Chinchillas  and aviaries of beautiful birds are viewed in an indoor area to mention but a few, it’s here where the students absorb all the information and take with them when they leave the park.  So on the tour we want all the children to put on their bunny ears to absorb all this information.

Students and teachers bring a packed lunch with them where they can enjoy it in the indoor playarea which consists of a bouncy castle and ride on go karts. (Subject to Covid 19 guidelines)  Teas & Coffees available for the teachers.

As we run a Green Farm Policy we request that the children take their waste rubbish home with them.

The cost of the tour is 10 euro per child. Teachers & Special needs assistants are free.  Any additional adults or siblings are 10 euro.

You can pay on arrival to farm on the morning of the tour. You can pay by cash/card or cheque, made payable to Stonehall Visitor Farm.

On arrival to the farm we decide whether your group does the tour of the farm or play first by a member of staff due to facilitate other school groups on the farm.

Stonehall Wildlife Park requests that if any child requires special needs that we will be advised on arrival. e.g. wheel chair,  diabetic, allergies,  etc.   Times are as follows
