Horniman Museum and Gardens’ Animals: Pond, River and Sea Workshop
Key Info
Come on an interactive, imaginary journey with the Horniman walrus as we search for a seahorse in a pond, the Amazon river, and the sea.
Along the way, you’ll meet some amazing aquatic creatures, from a frog to a fish, learn about their amazing bodies, and even sing about them.
Travel to the Amazon rainforest, bravely touch a stuffed caiman and learn about colour and camouflage. At the seaside, listen to the waves, feel sea spray on your face and go diving in search of aquatic creatures.
When you return, dress as your favourite animal from your journey and explore the amazing objects hidden around the room: touch a real shark’s jaw; feel an enormous Nile crocodile’s scaly skin; and see a frog’s skeleton up-close.
The cost of the session also includes timed access to the Aquarium (please note – this is not private access) outside the session.
About Horniman Museum and Gardens
Thousands of school, HE and home educated learners visit the Horniman each year, to explore and learn from their incredible collections and beautiful gardens.
A visit to the Horniman is a wonderful way to enrich your learners’ education, and to apply classroom learning in a new environment.
You can explore our free Galleries, Gardens and Animal Walk with your classes, or book to visit our Aquarium, Temporary Exhibition and Butterfly House at a reduced educational rate.
Please note that our Natural History Gallery is now closed for redevelopment, and will reopen in 2026. The rest of the Museum and Gardens is open as usual.
Enhance your group’s learning by booking one of our popular, curriculum-linked object handling workshops, or book an outdoor workshop exploring our beautiful Gardens and pond.
University and PGCE students, and teachers can discover more about our learning programmes, object-based learning, and how to enhance learning through Museum visits with our Learning at the Horniman sessions.
Not able to visit us? Our Learning Officers can bring our workshops and amazing objects live into your classroom with our virtual sessions and events.
