Overview
Embark on a special journey behind the scenes of our mini zoo, guided by one of our knowledgeable keepers. Tailored for children aged four and over with a soft spot for small, furry animals, this encounter lasts 30 minutes and starts at 10.30am.
Experience interacting with a diverse range of species from guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice and hamsters to tenrecs, hedgehogs and chinchillas. Our keepers will introduce you to interesting animal facts and your time spent with each creature contributes to their essential daily health checks and enrichment.
