Animal Experience Days

Take a walk on the wild side with a thrilling animal experience day.

Fulfil an aspiring zoologist’s dream and get up close and personal with an array of exotic creatures of all shapes and sizes – from meerkats and tapirs, to stepping into the boots of a zookeeper for a day. Daredevils get the chance to swim alongside sharks!

Need something to blow last year’s present out of the water? These unforgettable gift ideas are the perfect way to mark any special milestone. From birthdays to bucket list wishes, there’s something to celebrate every occasion in style.

Big Cat Encounters

Take a step out of the comfort zone and meet the big cats. Kings of the jungles and the zoo, lions are a fan-favourite. Their breath-taking posture, purposeful movements and thunderous roar draw crowds from all over. How does feeding a hungry one sound? Leave inhibitions behind and serve the lions by hand, with trained professionals offering guidance and educational advice throughout. Tigers, cheetahs, lynx and other felines in the big cat family are available to feed too.

Dolphin, Whale and Shark Experiences

For those interested in the sea, there’s a plethora of one-of-a-kind dolphin, whale and shark experiences to get the blood pumping! Head down to Falmouth in Cornwall for an expedition in search of dolphins, whales, seals and much more. Join a 12-person boat with a spotting tower and keep a keen eye for unusual shapes skimming the surface of the water!

Looking to get more involved? Don a diving suit, jump into the water and hang out with basking sharks in Scotland. Enjoy a captivating session in the company of these gentle giants – the second largest shark species in the world.

Zoo Keeping

Know someone with a lifelong dream to work in a zoo? Well, here’s their chance. Becoming a zookeeper for the day is the ultimate way to get close to a diverse range of amazing animals. Lend a hand by looking after monkeys, feeding the rhinos or perhaps mucking out the giraffes. There’s plenty of insightful tasks to get stuck into!
