Experiences with Animals in The East Midlands

We loved this experience and it was amazing value. It was great from start to finish. The keeper was professional and informative. The animals were adorable and very friendly. We enjoyed feeding and interacting with them very much. We were given plenty of time with them and weren’t at all rushed. You get reduced advanced entry to the zoo when you purchase this experience, which makes it even better value overall. The wider zoo is lovely and we made the most of seeing the other animals when we had finished our experience. Would highly recommend this as a present or just a treat to yourself.

We had a great day at the owl centre, our daughter loved it. Sun was out as well we had a picnic as well on the grass.

Brilliant. Dan was very knowledgeable and clearly adores his birds! Thoroughly enjoyable morning and would highly recommend spending a few hours with Dan, Whip, Sky, Peggy and Sway.

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience

We had a lovely time with the Meerkats, there's a lot to see in addition to the time you spend feeding them. We left with big smiles on our faces.

Really clear instructions for the day. The piglets were absolutely adorabld

The Meerkat Experience was very enjoyable . It was great to get in with the meerkats and learn about themThe Ark caters for rescued animals and does a lot of conservation work. A very worthwhile visit.

Fantastic service. Delivered very quickly and my family are delighted with the gifts

My partner and I went on a 90 minute alpaca walk. The first half an hour was introducing us to the alpacas and a health and safety briefing. The remaining hour consisted of being paired up with your alpaca and taking it on an hour's walk. Lots of fun was had, the alpacas were so entertaining with their individual personalities! Would definitely repeat the experience & recommend to others!

A fantastic experience from start to finish, our guide was super friendly and her passion and knowledge for all the birds at the centre shone through which enhanced our up close and personal encounters with the birds of prey, would highly recommend to anyone.

A lovely experience with the lemurs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. A great zoo, seeing different animals. A very good day was had indeed.
