Event details

Description

The live animals are back at Christchurch Mansion for the February half-term! Kids will discover an exciting range of animals, learning about how they adapt and survive in their environments, and exploring how humans impact their worlds.

Everyone attending will need their own ticket for these 45-minute sessions, which take place in accessible ground-floor spaces.

Due to health and safety guidelines, visitors won't be able to touch the animals, but they'll still get a fantastic chance to observe and learn about these fascinating creatures.

This is a family event where children must be accompanied by parents/carers throughout their visit.
