The Main Event

This Zoo Keeper For The Day Experience is a hands-on adventure that’s wild in all the right ways and offers a rare chance to go behind the scenes at a much-loved wildlife rescue sanctuary.

For three amazing hours, from 11am to 2pm, the lucky recipient will step into the boots of a real zoo keeper. They’ll get involved with daily tasks like preparing food, creating enrichment activities and, best of all, meeting a fascinating mix of animals up close. Think cheeky meerkats, curious foxes, majestic wildcats and so many more, each with their own personality and story.

Designed for ages 16 and up, this experience also includes full access to the wildlife park before or after your zoo keeping duties are done. With plenty of time to explore and see even more animals, it’s a brilliant way to spend the rest of the day. And to top it all off, lunch is included in the on-site café, making it a complete day out.

This wildlife park is home to a growing family of rescued exotics, so there’s always something new to discover. From caracals and lynx to raccoons, alpacas and snakes, the variety of species is incredible. Whether it’s feeding a green iguana, observing a striped skunk or helping out with the banded mongoose, no two days are ever the same.

This is more than just an experience, it’s a chance to learn from passionate keepers, and support a fantastic rescue sanctuary. It’s the ideal gift for animal lovers, aspiring vets, or anyone looking for a memorable day out.
