The Experience

Step into the world of predators with this thrilling Meet the Carnivores Zoo Keeper Experience at Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World. Designed for true animal lovers and wildlife enthusiasts, this one-hour encounter brings you face-to-face with some of nature’s most fascinating hunters, safely, responsibly and under expert supervision.

Based in the West Midlands, this immersive experience is available for groups of 2, 4 or 6 people and includes full admission to Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World, allowing you to explore the rest of the park before or after your session.

During your hour-long carnivore encounter, you’ll meet four top predators from three different continents, gaining insight into their behaviours, habitats and unique adaptations.

Your experience may include:

  • Handling a skunk, learning about their powerful defences and surprisingly curious personalities
  • Hand-feeding foxes (Red or Arctic, depending on the day), stepping into their enclosure and offering food under keeper guidance
  • Snake handling, usually a boa constrictor, giving you the chance to appreciate these misunderstood reptiles up close
  • Feeding a serval, one of Africa’s agile wild cats, safely through the fencing, or, if needed, meeting the impressive lynx instead

An experienced zoo keeper remains with you throughout, ensuring the highest standards of safety and animal welfare while sharing fascinating facts and answering questions along the way.

This captivating carnivore experience blends education with excitement, offering rare photo opportunities and unforgettable moments with species many people only ever see from a distance. It’s hands-on, engaging and designed to foster respect and understanding for these incredible animals.

Ideal for thrill-seekers, wildlife fans or anyone searching for a unique animal encounter in the UK, you don’t want to miss meeting these carnivores.

A rare chance to meet, feed and learn about some of the animal kingdom’s most captivating predators, all in one unforgettable hour.

  • I was given this voucher as a birthday gift. We went to Hoo Farm which is a lovely place. Lots to do for animal loving adults and particularly good for children with a full animated dinosaur experience and good play areas. We got to hold a snake, skunk, fed foxes and a civit cat. The lady who took us round was so knowledgeable and clearly loved her role. Am going to book lemur experience next. Thank you hoo farm
