On-Site Education Programs

School Visits (Special Programs)

More than ten thousand Primary and High School students from all over Belize visit the Zoo yearly. Even though many classes do preparatory work prior to their visit, a large percentage still have not taken full advantage of our special programs: One main factor is that often teachers want to kill several birds with one stone in other words, they plan several stops for the day's outing and so are unable to spend great lengths of time, gathering meaningful information on specific topics.

We offer 3 special programs, namely:

Adaptation geared for the lower levels.
Wild-life for the middle division.
Conservation for the upper division.

Our latest Wetlands program has been developed for upper primary and high school students.

School Visits (Self-guided Tours)

As previously mentioned, many school groups, in trying to maximize their educational field trips, do a rush job with large numbers of students.When a group of thirty or more visit, with the assistance of their teacher or parents, they are allowed to move around the zoo leisurely, using the information booklet on the Zoo animals.
