Drayton Manor Zoo now provide Zoo Experiences - an exciting new way to interact with select animals at the Zoo.

This exciting new programme allows ticket holders and Ultimate Pass holders (with discount) to book an experience to get up close and personal to some of the unique animals over at the Drayton Manor Zoo. These experiences allow guests to get behind the scenes access to habitats, whilst also gaining a plethora of knowledge about animals and meet the keepers who look after them!

The park provide 5 exciting Zoo Experiences sure to enhance a day at the park:
  • Red Panda Encounter - get close to the Red Pandas in their habitat and watch them take part in a training session.
  • Creepy Crawlies Encounter - meet some of the creepy crawlies in the Education Centre, discover three species of invertebrates and discover new facts about the animals!
  • Reptile Encounter - meet some of the reptiles at Drayton Manor, this allows you to get up close to three species and learn lots about them
  • Skunk Encounter - meet the skunk at Drayton Manor, learn all about the animals and get up close
  • Tapir Feeding - a brand new feeding experience from the purpose built platform added to the zoo whilst learning more about these vulnerable animals.
Each Zoo Experience lasts approximately 30 minutes and seem to happen between 15:00 and 16:30, they all include a shiny certificate to take away with you! Prices vary, however these are all very reasonable for such a unique and personal experience with experts from the Drayton Manor Zoo. Photography is allowed for all experiences.

This is a great addition which myself and the Drayton Talk team are thrilled to see, we can already imagine these are being a great success given the amount of animal lovers who come to Drayton Manor! We look forward to experiencing these soon and sharing a comprehensive review!

The new Zoo Experiences look fantastic and are a great and welcomed addition to the park. We are looking forward to experiencing these for ourselves!
 
I've seen that there is now a Meerkat Experience on the Drayton Manor Website, at the moment is it unavailable due to Covid-19 Restrictions, but I hope to do this once they are available to book again.
