Set within 600 acres of beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, Whipsnade is a hidden gem. Only 20 minutes by train from Central London. The only Keeper for a Day experience in the UK, where you can work with Asian Rhinos, Giraffes and Elephants all in 1 day!

At ZSL Whipsnade Zoo you can expect to work with some of the larger mammals as well as some of our smaller animals. After getting kitted out in your keeper outfit you will be briefed on the days activities before heading out into the zoo with your experienced keeper host. After helping to muck out our Asian Rhinos, you will head to visit our tall giraffes to feed them their mid-morning snack. After recharging over lunch and stopping off our meerkats or otters, you will end the day with our majestic Asian Elephants.
