Why visit the Zoo of the Pyrenees with a school trip?
Native animals
The refuge is currently home to 165 animals of 56 different species. It gives students the opportunity to get to know the animals of our country. We have not had this luck.
Unique activities
The Zoo of the Pyrenees Foundation is a pioneer in entertaining and at the same time safe activities where students come into direct contact with wild animals.
Personalized attention
Each school has its own particular characteristics. The students receive a 100% personalised attention since only 1 school can visit us per day.
Society is changing. At the same time, young people growing up in the cities show an accelerating disengagement from nature.
At the same time, parents do not want their children to see animals kept in small spaces.
Visiting a wildlife refuge offers an opportunity to introduce students to nature and awaken their interest in the world around them. And it will definitely have the approval of their parents.
