Agenda

Your experience starts at 9am and you will take part in food preparation, cleaning out, enclosure maintenance and the other elements that make up the keeper’s day. After lunch at one of the onsite catering outlets, it’s your chance to hand feed a big cat through the bars of the cage. After 2pm you are free to explore the rest of the park and view the many interesting and rare animals on display.

Brilliant, a once in a lifetime chance to get up close to the lions and tigers. The keepers do an amazing job looking after them. Thanks for a great day.

Emily Bailey,

I love animals, especially lions and tigers and other big cats and this gift was just the best experience of my life so far. I'm going off to start a zoology degree this year and watching the keeper and helping look after and feed these beautiful creatures really made me sure that I want to be a zookeeper.

E McMulme, UK

I was bought a Shadow a Big Cat Keeper Experience. Unfortunately I had a brain tumour and had to cancel it a couple of times. I finally got to do it and it was fantastic. The keeper was brilliant and very patient as I can’t walk very fast. It was the best day of my life and would recommend it... P.S Thank you for all your help extending my voucher!
