About

The Ultimate Animal Experience is something that you will never forget! This experience is suitable for adults and children aged 8 years & over and is the perfect way to meet three of your favourite species of animal. Spend quality time with our Tapirs Muffin and Zico, the gentle giants that just loved to be groomed. Meet our mob of Meerkats, a gregarious and entertaining bunch that won’t think twice about climbing over you. Last but certainly not least is a unique opportunity to step inside our Ring-Tailed Lemur enclosure to be enchanted by these gentle and endearing animals. Spending time with animals is a truly remarkable experience and is guaranteed to make you smile.

The Ultimate Animal Experience takes place year round and pre-booking is essential.
