The Experience

Looking for a gift that’s packed with adventure, excitement and real-life animal encounters? The Mini Zoo Keeper For The Day Experience is the perfect present for any young animal lover aged 5 to 12. This unforgettable one-hour experience offers a hands-on glimpse into the life of a zookeeper at a much-loved wildlife park and exotic animal sanctuary.

Starting at 10am, the day kicks off with your child getting stuck into real zoo keeper tasks. These may include feeding the animals, grooming them, helping with basic cleaning and even preparing their food. Every day is different, which makes each experience unique and full of surprises!

The experience also includes full entry to the wildlife park for both the child and one accompanying adult (who must stay with them at all times). After the keeper session ends (or beforehand if you'd prefer), you're free to explore the park at your leisure and meet the rest of the animal residents.

And what a line-up it is! This amazing sanctuary is home to a growing family of rescued animals including red foxes, raccoons, meerkats, caracals, Eurasian lynx, skunks, turtles, snakes, banded mongoose, alpacas and many more. From giant reptiles to exotic mammals and gentle grazers, there’s something to delight every visitor.

Whether it’s a birthday gift, Christmas surprise or just a special day out, this Mini Zoo Keeper experience makes for a truly unique gift. It’s not only fun and educational, but it also gives children the chance to build confidence and connect with animals in a safe, supervised environment.

If you're after a gift that stands out from the usual toys and tech, this is one they'll remember. It's the perfect mix of wild, wonderful and utterly unforgettable.
