Save 10% on the animal gift of a lifetime - a ZSL keeper for a day experience

K4D Elephants
Give someone a wild day out with a difference by sending them behind the scenes at either the world famous ZSL London Zoo or the UK's biggest zoo, ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.

SPECIAL OFFER: 10% off adult Keeper for a Day experiences with this discount code: K4DAUT10

Code will only be valid in September and October 2010 only. Code does not apply to Junior experiences. Vouchers are valid for 1 year from date of purchase.

This once in a life time experience allows your nearest and dearest to get up close and personal with some of ZSL’s most popular animals, providing a unique insight into the day-to-day life of our keepers and their charges.

The sessions (available for those aged 16 and over) give the opportunity to get close to animals such as giraffes, elephants, penguins and big cats. Participants get to help out with tasks such as mucking out, assisting with enrichment activities and feeding some of our most popular creatures - a must have for any animal lover!

The full day is £270 and the more compact Introduction to Zoo Keeping is £170. The programme runs Monday to Friday, all year round at ZSL London Zoo and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from April to October at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo.

Guided by one of our devoted keepers participants will go behind the scenes and meet some of the rarest animals on the planet.
