Giraffe Heights

Whilst we are pleased to have reopened our Zoos with limited capacity, due to the current COVID-19 guidelines in place, we have chosen to postpone our Meet the Giraffes Experiences for the the time being to ensure we are able to operate our Zoos safely for our visitors, staff and animals. We understand this is disappointing and those customers with existing bookings will be contacted via email with their options.

 For those looking to book for 2021, Dates will go on sale on 1st November 2020.
