Animal Encounters

Make your family day out extra special with one of our Animal Encounters, perfect for animal lovers of all ages.

Step into the world of wildlife as you get up close and personal with our curious meerkats, with the chance to feed them, gently stroke them and learn more about their fascinating behaviour. Discover the world of reptiles, where you can meet slithering snakes and friendly lizards. For those who prefer a slower pace, our gentle tortoises are always ready for a relaxed interaction. And, if you love all things soft and cuddly, spend some quality time with our adorable rabbits and guinea pigs, who enjoy a gentle stroke and a tasty treat.

Whether you’re looking for an educational experience, a hands-on interaction or simply a memorable moment, our Animal Encounters offer something special for everyone.

You'll find us in East Leake (LE12 6LU), which is easily accessible from Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire.
