About This Event

Join us for an exciting workshop to learn all about the animals and beasties of the rainforest, then meet and handle them.

Rainforest adventurer

Duration: 45–55 mins

We are delighted to bring you this super exciting adventure workshop. The dedicated team at Zoolab will be with us to take you on this adventure, to understand the rainforest, learn about its fascinating facts, and take the children on a journey through it.

Overview: Explore exotic critters as you step over snails on the forest floor and watch dancing stick insects in the understory (middle of the rainforest).

​See how snakes climb trees and tarantulas jump out of burrows – you may even get to meet a canopy-dwelling tree frog too.

It’s all part of an approach that combines storytelling and drama to bring the rainforest to life, help children discover biodiversity, and give them a first-hand look at how what happens in the rainforest can affect us all.

Finish up by meeting and handling some of the animals.


Suitable for ages 2–12.


*Adults and children of all ages need a ticket.

**No dogs permitted.

**Buggies and pushchairs must be left outside.
