Junior Keeper - Give your child the chance to be a zookeeper
| There's nothing quite like the wonderful bond between animals and children. Kids love animals, so what better way for them to get involved and discover more about the natural world and the animal kingdom by treating them to an animal experience day?. Who knows, your son or daughter could be the next Sir David Attenborough! Here are some animal experience days for children as always please check the length of the vouchers before you buy and the important info or need to know sections. Please also read the terms and conditions carefully so that you are clear about whether adults need to accompany the children and pay an entry fee for admission or not. |
| Junior Keeper for the Day for Two at Dartmoor Zoo
Experience life as a zookeeper for the day at Dartmoor Zoo in Devon! You'll work alongside the zoo's keepers and get close up and personal with a variety of animals.

Lunch is in the Jaguar Restaurant and you’ll each take home a certificate to remember your day as an official zookeeper. Minimum age 8, maximum age 15, and all participants must be accompanied by an adult at no extra cost (though adults will have to pay for lunch). Proof of age may be required. This is not for anyone with high blood pressure or who has a nervous disposition. Available from Virgin Experience Days - book at least 3 months in advance. | ||
