Be an Animal Keeper for the Day

26th August 2025 | £10.50 | Hourly sessions

Ever wondered what it’s like to work with animals? Join us this during our Animal Antics event for our ‘Be an Animal Keeper for the day’ experience. It’s perfect for young animal lovers aged 2-15. Children will roll up their sleeves and get hands on with a variety of activities, including feeding our animals, collecting eggs, cleaning out pens and learning how to milk a cow! Don’t miss your chance to get up close with our animals and discover the joys (and mucky bits!) of life as a keeper.

Session information: 10 children at a time (aged 2-15years). Every child must be accompanied by an adult (for adult tickets please purchase general admission). 1 hour session, please choose a time slot at time of booking. Please arrive promptly at the start of your chosen time and meet by the parrots (just outside the cafe entrance). We recommend wearing footwear that you’re not afraid to get dirty.
