Everything you need to know about the Tortoise Experience

This exclusive, two-person experience offers a rare opportunity to connect with our herd of critically endangered radiated tortoises, one of the world’s most vulnerable species. Known for their striking, star-patterned shells and slow, deliberate movements, these remarkable creatures are captivating to observe up close.

Together with an expert keeper, you'll spend time with these gentle giants as they graze on their favourite greens. You'll gain fascinating insights into the lives of radiated tortoises, including how their extraordinary shells provide protection, and how their diet and environment are vital to their survival.

You'll also learn about the conservation efforts aimed at protecting these endangered tortoises, as their population is threatened by habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade, and climate change. Understand the challenges they face in the wild and the global efforts underway to ensure their future.

Whether you're an animal lover, a keen conservationist, or simply seeking a unique experience, the Tortoise Experience promises to leave you with unforgettable memories and a connection to one of the planet's most endangered species.
