The Experience

Looking for a gift that’s a little different and perfect for animal lovers of all ages? The Ultimate Animal Encounter Experience is just the thing. This 90-minute adventure gives the lucky recipient the chance to get up close with some of the most fascinating and beautiful animals.

From curious meerkats to stunning wildcats, the experience includes three different animal encounters, picked from a choice of five: Meerkat, Wildcat, Red or Silver Fox, Arctic Fox, or Skunk. Each one offers something special – whether it's helping to feed playful meerkats, preparing enrichment for rare wildcats, or stepping into the enclosure with Arctic foxes and watching them dash about your feet.

This is more than just a meet-and-greet. It’s a hands-on, behind-the-scenes look into the lives of some truly amazing animals, many of whom have been rescued and now call this wildlife sanctuary their permanent home.

After or before the encounter, visitors can enjoy free entry to the rest of the wildlife park, which is packed with exotic mammals, reptiles, and fascinating creatures including raccoons, snakes, caracals, alpacas and even African giant millipedes. With so many animals to see, it's a brilliant day out in its own right.

And to round it all off, lunch is included in the onsite café, so there’s no need to pack a picnic.

Whether it’s for a birthday, Christmas, or just a surprise treat, the Ultimate Animal Encounter makes a brilliant gift. It’s fun, educational, and gives back by supporting a sanctuary that rescues and cares for animals in need.

A truly wild way to spend the day, and an experience they’ll never forget.
