Based on the new Government Guidance that recently came into place surrounding the wearing of facemasks, we are now asking all our Meet the Giraffes participants who are over the age of 11 and not on exempt to wear a mask during their experience. You will need to bring your own facemask with you. 

What to expect on the day

This 20 minute VIP experience begins with a health and safety briefing from our expert zoo keeper who will then take you to our special giraffe feeding area, which takes you up close to our giraffe herd. You will then help our zoo keeper hand feed the giraffe whilst learning more about this amazing species. There will be a maximum of four people taking part in the experience, giving you lots of time with our giraffes and zoo keeper.
