A great afternoon out

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.

Far too exceeded our expectations

Our 3 hour experience was absolutely amazing. Set in the garden of the Mole Trap pub in Epping Forest. Laura, the falconer was full of fascinating facts about these amazing birds. We were able to hold several birds, including an enormous bald eagle, various owls and a Harris hawk. We had the opportunity to have some of the birds fly to our gloved hand. The location was in the middle of nowhere, but had the added bonus of the pub to enjoy a meal after. Thoroughly recommend.
