Primary Times Warwickshire & Solihull PINBOARD Take your class to Stratford Butterfly Farm for a lesson they won’t forget! Stratford Butterfly Farm offers a wonderful field trip for children of all ages and abilities to learn about tropical rainforest environments and the plants and animals that live within these habitats, as well as the life-cycle of a butterfly. With plenty of hands on, close observation and activity in an authentic rainforest environment, the Butterfly Farm is the perfect place for a magical and educational day out with your class. All pre booked groups of 10 or more receive a guided tour at no extra cost. Tours last for approximately one hour and are led by an experienced member of the Education Team, who will present all aspects of the Butterfly Farm in an engaging and educational manner. For those studying a particular topic, let us know before you visit and we can plan the tour to the needs of your group. School visits should be booked in advance. If you have a particular date in mind please book early as spring and summer months are especially popular. Current school rates are £5.25 per child or teacher with one free teacher place for every 10 children.
