New Animal Experiences!
Get Closer to the Animals This Summer by booking an experience!
Launching 17th July, our brand-new animal experiences offer a unique opportunity to learn more about some of the zoo’s most fascinating residents alongside the people who care for them every day.
Led by our experienced animal keepers, these incredible experiences are designed to educate, inspire, and provide a memorable connection to the world of conservation. With a maximum of just two participants per experience, you’ll enjoy a personal and engaging encounter while learning about conservation, animal welfare, and individual species behaviours.
Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended!
Lemur Experience
Step Into the World of Lemurs in their brand new habitat!
Join one of our experienced keepers for an engaging insight into the lives of these fascinating primates.
During this experience, you’ll learn about lemur behaviours, social structures, and the conservation challenges they face in the wild. You’ll also observe the lemurs face to face in their habitat while taking part in enrichment activities designed to encourage natural behaviours such as foraging, exploration, and problem-solving.

To help protect animal welfare, all participants will be required to wear a face mask during the experience. This helps reduce the risk of transmitting illnesses to the lemurs.

Our Humboldt experience is now back and better than ever! Discover the fascinating world of our Humboldt penguins with this engaging keeper-led experience.
Learn about Humboldt penguin behaviour, their remarkable adaptations for life in the water, and the conservation challenges that they face in the wild.
Depending on the penguins themselves, you may even have the opportunity to help feed them! As with all animal experiences, participation is always on the animals’ terms.
Experience Details

Important Information
During the summer months, penguins undergo an important process known as moulting, where they replace all of their feathers. During this period they may appear scruffy and will remain on land while their new waterproof feathers develop. Although they may look a little different, this is a completely natural and essential part of their lifecycle.
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone, we kindly request that participants are comfortable exploring our mountainous terrain, follow instructions, and respect all members of the group. If you have any concerns about suitability or needs, please feel free to contact us before booking — we’re happy to discuss support options!
