A summary
A day out at the zoo, both fun and educational to spend time seeing the animals and taking part in virtual aspects of the setting. There will be time for outdoor play areas, and to spend valuable time together as a family or socialise with other children and families. This is an activity for the whole family, so each SEND child has the opportunity for 3 accompanying tickets - at least 1 adult is required per child, and the remaining tickets can be selected as suits your family best.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
