Animal Experiences
Get hands-on
Our fascinating daily encounters programme gives all of our visitors a taster of animal feeding time, grooming or petting. But, what if you’d love to try something more involved?
It’s not every day that you can prepare breakfast for a herd of deer, have a go at being a farm keeper, or get some one on one time with your favourite animal, which is why we also offer private encounters and hands-on experiences, led by our expert farm team.
These VIP animal experiences are a real treat for any animal lover! (Experience gift vouchers are also available).
