What activities are available during educational visits?
Not only does a school trip to SEA LIFE endorse connectivity and empathy, it can challenges students to become the ultimate ocean conservation champion with our free 'Save our Oceans: The Rangers Challenge' activity pack. Before the trip, pupils will be set their challenge by video message from Ranger Bethan. At SEA LIFE, they’ll encounter our crab-ulous creatures and work in assigned groups to record their learning using free our activity pack filled with engaging tasks. Back at school, they’ll apply their learning by creating an informative campaign educating their community.
