Keeper for the Day with Lunch for Two at Dartmoor Zoo

On arrival at Dartmoor Zoo you’ll meet the expert zoo team that you’ll be joining for the day. The two of you will be getting hands-on with a range of fascinating species, learning all about what goes on in the day-to-day workings of the zoo.

You’ll be involved in feeding and care, and enjoy plenty of photo opportunities throughout. As part of your day you’ll enjoy lunch in the Jaguar Restaurant, and at the end of your experience you’ll receive a certificate of achievement to take home.

• Minimum age: 16
• The experience is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant, has a high blood pressure, or is of a nervous disposition
• While nearly all of the zoo is accessible to wheelchairs and buggies, it is quite hilly and rugged and some of the paths are challenging. Caution should be exercised, and the team is ready to help when you need: just ask. High heels are inadvisable
