The VIP ‘We Bought a Zoo’ Tour (for two people)

£499.00

In 2007, Benjamin Mee committed the story of Dartmoor Zoo to writing in the best-selling book, “We Bought a Zoo.” It has since sold all over the world in over 20 languages.

In 2009, this fascinating story came to the attention of Hollywood producers and in 2010, the movie of the same name starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson was released in the USA and later in the UK in March 2012.

The screen adaptation was crafted for an American audience and set in sunny California but despite the change of location, the Oscar-winning writer/director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous) remained true to the spirit of the original story.

Benjamin Mee has become a popular choice as a public speaker, sharing his unique story with a variety of audiences around the world.

Now you can hear this fascinating story, the transition to becoming a charity, as well as all the highs and lows of keeping Dartmoor Zoo alive over the years since, first hand from Benjamin himself and a member of our dedicated zoo team as part of a guided VIP tour of the Zoo.
