All visitors will be invited to take part in the Champion's Trail, a journey through the grounds and gardens of the Zoo, identifying and recording fascinating facts in the case files provided! Young researchers that fully complete the Champion's Trail can show off their completed activity leaflet at the Zoovenirs Gift Shop for a free prize.
An Animal Champions Base Camp offers animal lovers the opportunity to discover more about the conservation projects the Zoo is involved in, unearthing animal knowledge with Animal Champions Fact Files, and testing skills in fun games!
