Keeper Experience

Animal Sponsorship
Our Keeper experience days are perfect for the animal mad person. With the main focus on Lemurs they are designed specifically to give you a zoo keeper experience and enable you the opportunity to not only get close to some of the zoo animals but to understand more about the important role that modern day zoos play in the conservation and protection of some of the worlds most endangered creatures.
Your experience will be very 'hands on' and will include activities such as helping with the presentation of educational talks, cleaning enclosures, preparing diets and feeding, preparing enrichment feeds.
You may also have the opportunity of helping with the care of some of the other zoo animals which may include tapir, wallabies, snakes and invertebrates, marabou storks, owls or giant tortoises.
