Face to face with the King of the Jungle.
See behind the scenes at one of the UK's premier big cat collections as you shadow a Big Cat Keeper for a day. The savage beauty of these majestic beasts has captivated people for centuries but now you can get to see the hard work that goes into ensuring they are happy and well in captivity. Including an opportunity to feed the animals by hand through the bars of their cage, this is a once in a lifetime chance to get up close and personal with Lions, Tigers and Cheetahs.
Your experience starts at 9am and you will take part in food preparation, cleaning out, enclosure maintenance and the other elements that make up the keeper's day. After lunch at one of the onsite catering outlets, it's your chance to hand feed a big cat through the bars of the cage. After 2pm you are free to explore the rest of the park and view the many interesting and rare animals on display.
