Join our keepers for three hours packed full of close encounters and fantastic experiences as younger animal lovers get the chance to experience what it’s like to be a zookeeper. While they learn about the residents of Edinburgh Zoo, they will work with a range of animals helping to prepare and deliver their diets, making enrichment and having special hands-on magic moments. Go behind-the-scenes for a unique insight into the daily routines of zoo life and get your hands dirty – literally!
