Half Term VIP Animal Encounters

22nd Oct 2012

What better way to spend Half Term than by enjoying animal VIP encounters?

From Monday 29th October to Saturday 3rd November 2012 you can get hands on for VIP Animal Encounters that include the chance to fly an owl, feed giraffes and cuddle tapirs.

During these animal VIP encounters you will find out what sets Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm apart. No other zoo will give you such enjoyable opportunities to get up close with wild animals, which is a vital part of learning about them.

This is also a valuable work experience opportunity as you can get a feel for the daily life of a zoo keeper. In groups of no more than three; you will perform tasks with a qualified zoo keeper at a convenient time slot during your daily visit.

These experiences are perfect for adults and children over the age of six, but places are limited so get booking now. There is only one slot per day per animal. Brave adults can try their hand at feeding the big cats too, with a chance to get a behind the scenes tour of how the African Lions and Bengal Tigers live (over 16’s only).
