Please note, if you are looking for a specific date for your experience, contact us before purchasing any vouchers. We require at least seven days' notice for any bookings.
If you do not have a specific date in mind, vouchers can be gifted and booked at a later date within the voucher's validity.
You can contact us by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0131 314 0327 between 9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday.
The cost is £155 per voucher per participant.
As this experience is a chance for adults and children to participate together, we require at least one paying adult and one paying child taking part. We cannot have a child participating on their own, as we offer a different experience for children only.
Regrettably, our Keeper Experiences are not suitable for certain guests including those with any relevant phobias or known allergies, pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals. Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate those with a disability or learning difficulty, due to practicality and health and safety this may not always be possible. Please read the T&Cs for further information or contact us at [email protected] or by calling 0131 314 0327 for advice prior to booking.
Then why not add one of our Keeper Experience Gift Bags to you order! Our gift bags include a commemorative tote or drawstring bag filled with zoo-branded souvenirs to make your experience even more memorable!
