Red Panda Experience

The red panda encounter is an amazing one-to-one experience lasting between 30 and 40 minutes which will leave you grinning from ear to ear (we also have an option for two participants).

During your red panda experience, you will go behind the scenes to prepare their snacks before feeding them their favourite treats. You will get one-on-one time with the Zoo Keeper to answer all of your red panda questions, as well as a fantastic opportunity to get some amazingly close photos of the red pandas from inside their enclosure! Please note our red pandas do not enjoy being touched, so we cannot allow participants to touch or hold our red pandas, but they do sometimes enjoy taking snacks from your hands!
