Animal Encounter Tours

Experience

Animal Encounter Tours

Our experienced Animal Encounters Keeper Team will provide information on the different species, and allow visitors to meet some of the animals. We aim to educate visitors on subjects such as conservation, breeding projects and bio-diversity. There may also be an opportunity for visitors to handle or feed some of the animals (COVID-19 restrictions may apply to some animals).

 

Animal Encounter Tours last two hours and include:

  • The Arid Biome; housing species such as Cuban iguana, tortoises, three-banded armadillo and Von der Decken’s hornbills…
  • The Tropical Biome; housing species such as coati, black-throated monitor lizard, forest dragons, tree frogs and parrots…
  • Husbandry Room; housing a wide selection of birds and reptiles including corn snakes, royal pythons, tortoises and fish…
  • Walled Garden; to meet the meerkats
  • Farm; housing a variety of familiar farmyard friends and rare breed livestock
