School visits are welcome. Visits consist of a farm tour, hand feeding the llamas, a talk on the history and care of llamas, and where possible there may be opportunities for students to lead a llama around our visitor arena. Cost is $5 per head, teachers and aides will be
free of charge on a ratio of 1:10 (or part thereof).
School visits take approximately 2 and half hours, allowing for a half hour break in between the tour and talk. You are welcome to bring packed lunches and eat them here before returning to school. Please give us a call on 347 4766 for further information or to make a
booking.
WATFORD GRANGE LLAMA PARK LENDING LIBRARY
We have an extensive lending library of books, many of which have been sourced from overseas. These are available on loan, free of charge, to any school who has booked a school visit to the
park for a period of one month either before or after the scheduled visit. Should any school visit be cancelled a lending fee of $100 per calendar month will be charged.
Please note: This library has been set up at a cost of over $1000, and a condition of lending is that any books that are returned damaged or defaced, or any missing titles, are replaced by
the school at the schools cost.
