Take Learning Beyond the Books
Turn the Virginia Safari Park into your classroom for the day during Homeschool Day on Wednesday, October 7.
Homeschool families are invited to spend the day exploring the park, learning about wildlife and discovering something new together. Educational Keeper Chats in Safari Village give students a chance to learn directly from our animal care team, while guided safari wagon rides offer another way to experience the Safari Drive-Thru.
Whether your students already have a favorite animal they want to learn more about or are ready to see where their curiosity takes them, there’s plenty to discover throughout the day.
