Overview
Go behind the scenes in our mini zoo as you get up close with some of our cold-blooded creatures. Fun and educational, this encounter is aimed at children aged six and above, as well as adults.
During your 30 minute experience, starting at 1pm, you will have the opportunity to meet some of Capel Manor’s creepiest creatures. The exotics and reptile room, not generally open to the public, houses a wide range of invertebrates and larger species such as snakes, lizards and bearded dragons.
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.
Your ticket also includes entry to Capel Manor Gardens. You are welcome to explore the expansive 30-acre grounds, featuring a maze, walled garden, Café, and the opportunity to greet the other residents in our mini zoo.
Please note that, in prioritising the well-being of our animals, we cannot guarantee the specific species you will be handling until the time of the actual experience.
