About us
Whether you’re looking to boost cognitive collaboration, enhance social stimulation, engage in physical activities, or discover new levels of trust within your team, Dartmoor Zoo offers a wide array of team building events that will bring everyone closer together.
Dartmoor Zoo provides an unparalleled location for your next team building venue, surrounded by the most beautiful, unusual, and rarest animals. Here, team building activities can be tailor-made to suit your requirements, ranging from low-impact mental challenges to more physically demanding tasks. Whether you’re involved in crucial maintenance tasks or looking for a more relaxed, fun away day, we can put together a fun-packed and engaging day for your team.
Are your team up for a challenge? We offer a variety of different exercises you can choose for your team building event, depending on the duration of your stay. Our team building packages range from half-days to week-long adventures, with flexible options that allow you to tailor your activities to both your team’s needs and your stay’s length. All activities are personalised to ensure you achieve your desired goals.
Some of our activities include
- Getting in touch with nature – planting with problem solving.
- Let’s talk fences – you can’t fence off communication when building and renovating one of our fences.
- Enhancing habitats – working closely with our maintenance team on enclosure repairs and renovations.
Our team building events are ideal for groups from 10 to up to 100 people, with training and exercises adjustable for larger groups.
Additionally, conference space can be included in our packages, providing a comprehensive end-to-end solution for your team building needs in Plymouth, Devon.
