Meet the Meerkats

During this unique experience, you’ll meet one of our keepers and enter the meerkat enclosure with them. Our meerkats are very inquisitive so will be interested to investigate anything or anybody new entering their enclosure! This experience is for one person and can be bought for up to two people at any one time.

It will last 20 minutes and there will be plenty of photo opportunities as you take a seat and scatter feed the meerkats their bugs. Please note you are feeding them live invertebrates. We cannot guarantee that they will climb on to your lap like the lucky person in this photo!
