Aged five and under, these zoo keepers-in-training will enjoy feeding some of the zoo’s cutest critters – the meerkats! 

After giving them their breakfast, the group will head off to make and decorate a fun activity treat for our monkeys.

We’ll then give the finished treats to the Monkey Keeper, who will give them to the monkeys at bedtime that night.

With only small group sizes, bookings are essential. Recommended for kids 2 – 5 years old.
