Our Giraffe Experience offers you the chance to get closer than ever before with the TALLEST land animals, leaving you with incredible memories that will last a lifetime!
After an introductory briefing you will then have the very special opportunity to meet and feed our Rothschild’s giraffes at head height from our viewing platform.
You will also have a chance to ask our animal experts any questions you may have about this fabulous species, the work of our keepers and the incredible work our teams are doing to protect them from extinction.
