The details

Our “Keeper for a Day” experience is available to anyone over 16 years of age (Children between the ages of 8-15 inclusive can do the junior keeper for 1/2 a day). The session begins at 10.00am once the zoo opens and finishes at 4.00pm, giving you the remainder of the day to enjoy the zoo.

The cost of this “special” experience to be a keeper for the day is only £195 for the full day. Why not surprise someone with this unusual present or just treat yourself? This includes admission to the zoo for the “keeper for a day”, free admission to the zoo for one guest only (they will be able to see the keeper for a day around the zoo but will not be able to join in the experience) a meal for two, drinks, certificate of participation and a zoo gift.

Typically, your “Keeper for a Day” session will be spent like this:

Morning

  • Be met and introduced to the keepers at reception over a cup of tea or coffee and get your lanyard badge for the day while Health & Safety guidelines are discussed
  • Prepare for the cleaning and feeding routines
  • Meet the animals in your routines which include our smaller carnivores and mammals such as the meerkats, agouti, potoroo, red panda and binturong (amongst many others)
  • Tapir grooming
