Teaching Talons provide multi-award winning, educational animal encounters through their mobile zoo. Young people get up close to an incredible variety of animals from around the world- including giant invertebrates, reptiles, small mammals and an owl or talking parrot. There are plenty of photo and learning opportunities and the sessions can also be tailored to a topic of your choice.
Popular topics include habitats, adaptation and meet the mini beasts! As well as touching or holding the animals, some of the animals will do feeding demonstrations and the children can actually feed the guinea pigs themselves! There is even a small rescue dog, who will do a whole mini show, as the finale if you would like him to attend.
The sessions each last roughly 50 minutes, for up to 30 children and can take place in our main hall. Each session is time tabled into a one-hour slot to allow for any overrun, questions, changing classes over and hand washing. If you are booking a session for a single group/class, then the experience will last the full hour.
Pricing works as follows:
Travel is included and we are not VAT registered- so there are no hidden costs.
Pricing includes two experienced presenters, set up and pack up time (they will arrive around 30 minutes before the first session). At least one presenter in attendance will always be a professional zookeeper. If you require multiple, or long gaps/breaks between sessions, they sometimes have to charge for this additional time. Because of this they will check and discuss potential session times with you, to find what works best for both your group and their Animal Ambassadors, to avoid the need for any extra charges.
