Meerkat Experience

Get up close to our amazing meerkats in this unique and exciting meerkat experience!

In this unforgettable encounter you will get to meet our amazing meerkats and come face to face with these cute, curious and sociable animals.

Our Meet the Meerkat experience can be purchased for yourself, for a loved one or a friend. A meerkat experience would make the perfect present for any animal lover aged 5 and above! 

This meerkat experience is an amazing one-to-one experience which allows you to get up close and personal to these gorgeous animals. The Meet the Meerkats experience involves going behind the scenes to prepare meerkat snacks, feeding the meerkats their favourite treats, one-on-one time with your Zoo Keeper to answer all your meerkat related questions, as well as a fantastic opportunity to get some amazingly close photos of the meerkats from inside their enclosure. Our meerkats will often climb on your lap during the experience and love to meet new friends. They do not enjoy being touched and participants will be asked to not stroke or hold our meerkats.
