At West Midland Safari Park we want to create an educational environment for all our visitors. Whether you are part of a large school group or you are on a family day out, we aim to provide a unique experience where you can learn about our wide collection of fascinating animals. Take a look below at some of our facilities we can offer to our visitors...
Activity Sessions
During busy periods there are often activity sessions carried out in the Discovery Classroom. Sessions may include card making, colouring in competitions or mask making to name just a few (each activity charged individually). Maybe you can make one of our colourful Lemur masks or even win a top prize such as our fabulous... Adopt a Buddy Package!
Scratch Cards
Test your knowledge on information you have learnt around the park by participating in our scratch card competition. Pick up a card from our front office, discover the answers and hand it in for the chance to win a fabulous... Adopt a Buddy Package!
 Signage
Throughout the reserves informative spotter boards give facts and figures about the animals that can be found. Our Wildlife section of the website tells you about each of these reserves and further information can be found about many of the animals in our comprehensive guidebook which is available at the entrance upon arrival.
Touchscreens
Our Discovery Trail is designed to fascinate, intrigue and educate visitors on a huge variety of amazing animals. Visitors are immersed in a whole new world of information, animated movies, pictures and quizzes through our interactive touch screens placed around the trail. Fascinating facts can be found about a wide range of animals including the venomous Stone fish, rare and endangered Aye-aye and the heaviest snake in the world, the Green Anaconda, to name but a few.
