Tapnell Farm Park is the perfect place for indoor and outdoor fun, connecting with and learning about animals including "hands-on" sessions.
Go wild on the many activities which include a huge soft play zone, jumping pillows, pedal go-karts, zipwires, giant hay bale climbing frames and much more!
In our opinion, school trips to Tapnell Farm Park are best suited to the KS1, KS2 and KS3 age groups, although there's something for all ages to enjoy!
Here's some of the most frequently-asked questions about school visits to Tapnell Farm Park, posed by teachers and other group leaders
We will pre-book your visit for you and your entry charges will be paid directly by Education Destination. All you need to do is show up at the agreed time, line the kids up outside, identify yourselves to staff and you'll be enjoying the facilities in no time!
Most of the park is on one level with wide hard footpaths. There's always plenty of staff on hand to help if needed.
Whilst most of the fun attractions are outside, there's plenty to see and do indoors as well, so Tapnell is a perfect rainy day option.
The park has many picnic tables available for use. There's also a cafe and a snack bar selling ice-cream within the park if you'd like to plan a treat or a hot lunch for example. We can help with that.
Most groups allocate a half day for trips to Tapnell and combine it with other attractions in the area, such as Dinosaur Expeditions or The Needles Pleasure Cruise. However, Tapnell is continually expanding and we are now seeing groups opt to spend a whole day here.
There's a large toilet block in the main building which is no more than a few minutes' walk from anywhere in the park
