Yorkshire Wildlife Park is an English zoo in Auckley and is perfect for a school trip. As well as having a wide range of animals to entertain and encourage students to learn, YWP can gift young visitors with personal growth through certain experiences.
Going anywhere on a school trip will help engage and motivate some students, but Yorkshire Wildlife Park can do it for all. While the lazy giant anteaters, small cotton-top tamarins and stealthy amur leopards will interest some, others will be engaged by the playful giant otters, towering giraffes and speedy cheetahs. However, there are many other creatures to motivate other students with different interests. This incredible school trip destination also provides challenging and fun playgrounds for younger students. These entertaining and motivating experiences can evolve into memorable ones.
With increased interest and engagement, young visitors will be encouraged to learn about the zoo’s fascinating creatures from the information boards. For example, giant otters make multiple sounds to communicate and the zoo provides translations for a few of these. Meanwhile, some facts may just jump out and surprise students like polar bear fur being translucent, not white. The zoo also has scheduled talks where students will be able to ask some questions that the information boards can not answer.
However, some students may not feel comfortable asking the zookeepers a question. Therefore, Yorkshire Wildlife Park can push students out of their comfort zone and help with their personal growth. This can also be done for people who are uncomfortable at heights: Leopard Heights provides a viewing platform where the towering giraffes are below. Also, Lemur Woods and Wallaby Walkabout help visitors nervous of being up close to animals as they are enclosures for walking through and their animals are not aggressive and rarely come up to visitors.
Overall, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is the perfect school trip destination as it provides entertainment, motivation to learn and can help students with personal growth by pushing them out their comfort zone.
