The Zoo have constructed an amphitheatre which was in use for the May Half Term Event showcasing the "Animals are Amazing!" Show. This exciting encounter promised to provide close encounters with different bugs (we believe this can vary on the day so is always different) as well as giving an opportunity to find out lots of interesting facts and meet the fabulous Zoo team at Drayton Manor.

The show was running at 10:00 and 15:30 on the grass area near the Lynx, Spider Monkeys and Red Pandas - the amphitheater had benches for guests to use and a gazebo for staff running the event to use - the additional variation of animals by day was great to see, especially for returning hotel guests. We had the pleasure of experiencing this show and found it very engaging and interesting, it seemed very popular with park guests also.

It's great to see the Zoo team providing shows like this and we would love to see this return for peak times once again - additions like this in the zoo are great to see and are very exciting.

The Zoo also ran the "Victorious Vets" event, this is a hands-on vet activity to see how vets care for animals, not just in the zoo but out in the wild and at home. This was done next to the Meerkats between 13:00 and 15:00 - giving all day zoo events with the Interactive Encounters too!
