Give the gift of an Animal Experience in London

20th Sep 2024

Give the gift of an unforgettable experience at Battersea Park Children's Zoo with a unique animal experience.

Perfect for explorers of all ages, starting from 3 years old, these interactive animal experiences provide a behind-the-scenes look at animal care and allow visitors to get up close and personal with some of the zoo's most fascinating creatures.

Choose from a variety of animal experience, including meetings with playful coatis, friendly donkeys, and curious goats. Each animal experience includes a complimentary entry ticket to the zoo, so your gift recipient can make a day of it and explore the rest of the zoo.

For a more in-depth animal interaction, opt for a keeper experience. These experiences provide participants with a behind-the-scenes look at what it's like to be a zoo keeper. Participants will get to feed and care for the animals, and even help prepare enrichment activities. There are three different keeper experiences offered: Gold, Silver, and Family Farmyard Fun.

No matter which experience you choose, you're sure to create lasting memories that will be treasured for years to come. Give the gift of an animal encounter or keeper experience today and make someone's day!

"Just back from a fantastic zoo keeper experience with my daughter. We went for the gold experience as it was her 8th birthday present and she got to hang out with 3 lovely keepers and hands on with a whole variety of animals including her favourite, Peludo the armadillo. Thank you to the keepers for making her feel special and teaching us both about the beautifully kept animals."

"We did the silver zoo keeper package for my 8 year old daughter for her birthday and it was amazing. She got to go into 5 different animal enclosures and feed them and it absolutely made her birthday. I cannot recommend it enough. Keepers were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and really made her day special. The zoo itself is perfect for younger children and has the right balance of animals and activities so they don’t get bored. Definitely well worth a visit and if your child loves animals go for the keeper experience!"

My 6 year old was bought the silver zoo keeper experience for a birthday present. He had so much fun, feeding 5 different types of animals, making a toy for them and doing a little bit of cleaning! The two workers took him behind the scenes to see where the zoo keepers work. They were happy to answer his large list of questions, with well informed and interesting answers. He even got given his own zoo keeper cap and a certificate, which really topped it off for him. I'd definitely recommend for any little animal lovers.
