Animal experiences
To all our valued supporters
As you cannot visit us at the moment we have temporarily suspended all animal experiences as of Friday 20 March.
If you have a booking for March or April the team will be in touch very shortly. Rebooking will be organised once we know when we will reopen and will be rebooked in order. If you have a gift voucher for an experience you will be able to contact us when we reopen to book these, you do not need to contact us now.
In line with government advice to minimise the numbers of staff on-site, I am sure you will understand that we are focussing all our attentions and on-site staffing towards essential animal welfare only. As a result, until we have further information on re-opening, we regret that we will not be able to answer or deal with individual queries and questions, either from direct email, letter and phone call or via social media. Therefore, please don’t contact us for the time being. Thank you so much for your patience during these testing times.
We look forward to welcoming you again soon and in the meantime, please keep an eye on our social media and website where we will be updating you.
