Reviews

I was a Zoo Keeper for the day today and it was brilliant! Thank you to Kirsty, Britney and Helen for giving me a day to remember and to other staff I met who were very friendly and welcoming. At the end of the day I was given a lovely goodie bag full of lovely things from Guest Services. Next time I visit this lovely zoo (using my annual gold card) I will do so with a lot more understanding of both the animals I met and of how the staff take such good care of them. - Gill February 2019

We have just been Keeper for the day and it was amazing. The staff have been there years and know everything about their animals they look after and see how much they care. They are well looked after and it was great to see what goes on behind the scenes and to be part of the experience was awesome. - Kelly January 2019

"My husband and I visited the zoo yesterday and were zoo keepers for the day, it was one of the best things we have done and couldn’t have had a better time. The keepers who escorted us to various parts of the zoo were amazing, so helpful and knowledgeable. Their love and pride in the animals shone through, and we honestly didn’t want to leave, we would definitely recommend this experience to anyone. And a big thank you to the lady in the experience office, who gave us some good advice when we rang to say that we were stuck in traffic, without her help we probably wouldn’t have made it in time" - Carol, May 2018
