We do ask that for anyone that feels comfortable (age 5+) to please continue to wear a face mask in our rainforest, to help protect our primates not only from covid-19 but also from coughs and colds. They have been shielded during the pandemic and we are trying to slowly ease them back to normality, without risking their health.

What to bring

A coat is always worth having as we are outside a lot.
Wellies or outdoor boots as it can get muddy

Booking after a trial

As long as there is availability, you can join any class at any point during the term. Prices are updated regularly to ensure you only pay for the amount of sessions left.

We hold our pupils to the highest of standards and as such, we reserve the right to exclude any pupil who is not respectful to the animals, their peers or their teachers. Pupils who are not respectful will be asked to leave the program and will not be refunded for classes missed.
