Special experiences with meerkats, lemurs, wolves, capybara, and junior keeper sessions cost extra.

“I came in with my nephew, we loved looking at the animals, we did however think that the ‘Feed the baby T-Rex’ activity was not suitable for younger children, it was very loud and overwhelming, it may be more suitable for children aged over 6, my 3 year old nephew found it very distressing”
