The Main Event

Join an expert zookeeping team and help care for a diverse range of species. You’ll gain insights into animal diet and nutrition, husbandry practices and an extensive training and enrichment programme at the zoo designed to keep the animals healthy and content.

You'll assist with feeding and cleaning the goats and tapir and meet the meerkats. Additionally, you’ll have the chance to feed the noisy otter family and participate in a bug and reptile session.

The experience is a very practical one and runs from 8am to 1pm, so be prepared to get your hands dirty and dress appropriately. Whilst you’re at the zoo, there will be plenty of opportunities to capture memorable photos both during and after the activities.
