“Honestly didn’t want it to end.”

I’ve always loved animals and this was such a great insight into what actually goes on behind the scenes. Felt relaxed, hands-on, and really enjoyable.

“Way better than I expected.”

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was so good. We got properly stuck in, learned loads about the animals and their care, and the keepers were great to chat to. I came away with a whole new appreciation for the work they do.
