Welsh Mountain Zoo

Animal Encounter

Animal Encounter is the scheme where you can meet and feed an animal at the Welsh Mountain Zoo.

This scheme is intended to provide visitors to the Welsh Mountain Zoo, by advance booking only, with a special opportunity to feed and learn about certain animals. We believe this will enhance your enjoyment, appreciation and understanding of the animals. The fees charged will be used to further the Zoo’s charitable conservation and education objectives.

Encounter Details

The Encounter is available to one or two people at a time, but never more than two.

Participants in the scheme will appreciate that we must ensure at all times that strict health and safety and animal welfare rules are followed. You must always:

·follow the instructions of the keeper.
·only use food provided by the keeper.
·wear the protective disposable gloves provided (please indicate if you have a rubber allergy) and use the anti-bacterial hand gel at the end of the session.

The scheme offers the opportunity to meet and feed certain animals listed below. A trained keeper is always in attendance to supervise the session and is available to answer questions about your chosen animal.
