Plan an educational school field trip to the Magnetic Hill Zoo so that the students can learn more about animal conservation and animal habitats!

Visitors can enjoy a 2 kilometer walk outdoors to view animals. Other amenities could include indoor animal viewing areas, playground, gift shop, the Bistro, vending machine, animal contact areas, and pony rides.

To help you plan you visit, please refer to our website at www.zoodemagnetichillzoo.ca or follow up on social media.

The lessons can include soil science and composting, vegetable growing basics (from seed to harvest), garden habitats and conservation, pollination and pollinators, and plant anatomy. We also emphasize the importance of using organic methods for growing food.

We grow a complete range of hardy fruits, ornamental shrubs and trees, vines and perennials. We grow without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. We have a range of activities that would be available for students to do on site. We have done apple picking, nursery tours, but are open to ideas for activities the kids could do here.

Great Minds Think Outside is a hands-on, curriculum-linked, outdoor professional development program that will give teachers and educators the skills, tools, and resources they need to teach their students outside – whatever the subject matter!
