Wildlife Experience Gifts: Made for budding zookeepers, this three hour wildlife experience gives 8-14 year olds an inspiring behind-the-scenes insight into the role of a real life zookeeper.

The day will begin with a quick safety briefing and run down of the day. Once you are all ready to go, you'll head off around the zoo and spend the next couple hours following in the footsteps of an experienced wildlife guide. They'll teach you all about the resident animals and how to take care of them. From skunks and meerkats to birds and reptiles, you will find out what it takes to keep each creature happy and healthy. With an expert zookeeper showing you the ropes, you'll get involved with cleaning their enclosures, feeding them nutritious meals, and of course handling them! By the end of your experience day, you'll feel like a professional zookeeper.

Perfect for young animal-lovers, this three hour junior zoo keeping experience makes for an exciting day out in Oxfordshire.
