Audio described tours allow people who are blind or partially sighted to enjoy our conservation Zoo whilst learning some behind the scenes information about our animals.
These audio described tours are integrated as part of our Whipsnade Walk and Talks programme, where the first walk back after a school holiday will be fully audio described and will contain tactile elements. Each tour is held on selected Thursdays at 10:30 am, meeting point is by the membership kiosk at the visitor centre.
Dates and Themes in 2026
