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.
