You've seen them on TV - now meet the meerkats in person!

Famous for appearances in wildlife documentaries and commercials alike, these unique and entertaining desert creatures are loved for their hind leg poses and inquisitive nature. Now you can get low down and dirty with these friendly creatures as you enter their enclosure with a keeper and feed them by hand. Expect to be treated as a human climbing frame as the meerkats clamber all over you.

Agenda

On arrival at the park you are welcome to spend as much time as you like admiring the many collections of exotic animals and birds. You will need to make your way to the Meerkat enclosure for 3pm or 4pm for a briefing by the keeper and an opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Then it 's into the cage for a unique face to face encounter with these inquisitive creatures. After the experience you will be presented with a certificate as a memento.

Notes

Your voucher is valid for 10 months. This experience is suitable for anyone over 10 years old. The feeding time is at 3.30pm but you are welcome to spend the whole day in the park as this package also includes admission. Spectators are welcome and can purchase standard admission (£14.00) at the gate. Please check that you are up to date on your tetanus inoculations (this can be verified by your GP). You are advised to wear old clothes as the animals are likely to climb all over you.

My 11 year old daughter loved this experience, the meerkats were so funny and she was thrilled to be able to get so close to them. I paid for standard admission so we spent the day in the park beforehand.

This has to be the cutest thing ever! Our family watches Meerkat Manor religiously so to see those little furry animals behaving like they do in the wild was incredible! I got the most adorable picture of my daughter with meerkats climbing all over her - she got to feed them by hand too! What an experience! I want a turn now!

We bought my husband a Meercat Experience for his birthday at Paradise Wildlife Park... Our keeper was very friendly and knowledgeable. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his experience especially the Meercat named Freya, who took an instant liking to him and climbed all over him. Certainly an experience we can recommend.

I thought the experience was really good and exciting! I loved it when they jumped on to me :) I thought the staff were really friendly and helpful, and explained what I should and shouldn’t do whilst I was in with the Meerkats. It was an amazing experience and I would like to do it again. Thank you for the experience!

I would just like to say that the Meerkat experience at Paradise Wildlife Park was the most wonderful and simply the best Christmas present I have ever been given. The park is amazing - the animals are kept in wonderful conditions, but the meerkat experience was amazing. 40 minutes with the Meerkats on a one to one basis and worth every penny for the person who enjoyed the day. My turn next !!!

Sue Turner, UK

Sitting so close to the Meerkats and watching their interaction with one another was fascinating! They became more relaxed and curious about me after they had finished feeding and even the Mother 'Bluebell' came right into the dish of food that I was holding! This according to the Keeper was unusual for her as she usually stayed a distance away. It was a memorable experience which I hope to do again one day in the near future.
