RZSS Highland Wildlife Park

The Highland Wildlife Park is a great day out for any visitor, but for young people it offers a marvellous educational opportunity, which helps to meet the demands of the Curriculum of Excellence and bring their lessons alive. We want to become an extension of your classroom and a valuable learning resource. For Health and Safety reasons children aged 15 or under must be accompanied by a responsible person aged 16 or over at all times.
