Lion Experience

Get up close to our family pride of African lions!

This is your chance to feed and learn about one of the largest big cat species in the world.

Your experience will include helping the keeping team feed them at close quarters and learn about the dangers these beautiful, but at risk species, face in the wild.

Go behind the scenes with our carnivore team and spend time getting to know Boss, Semira and Amahle, our majestic pride of African lions. Learn all about them and the dangers they face in the wild, plus you will get the opportunity to get closer and feed our lions through their enclosure.

As well as coming face to face with our lions, the price includes entry to the Zoo, a hot drink in Café Lemur and a commemorative certificate.
