The Aviary
The Queens Park Aviary has recognised the educational potential of close encounters with some of the world’s exotic and captivating birds.
To assist schools a curriculum-based booklet of activities called Remarkable Birds has been produced. It provides a background resource and information for teachers and contains pre-visit activities to establish current knowledge and activities for use during the visit. Species interpretation panels at the Aviary provide further information.
The Animal Reserve
The Animal Reserve has been redeveloped to provide a more accessible and inviting area within the park including a pet area for children.
Winter Gardens
The Winter Gardens will provide an interesting insight into the extensive collection of tropical and sub-tropical plants on display. Tours can be arranged by request.
