Watch our lions in action as they take down their prey from the best view in the zoo!

For the mane event you’ll deliver lunch fit for a king (and his queens) using a zip line, from an exclusive platform.

Observe our lions work hard for a meaty snack, in their habitat which mirrors the Gir National Park in India – the only place in the world where wild Asiatic lions can still be found!

Take the opportunity to quiz our carnivore keepers about our pride, and our conservation work to protect this incredible species in the field.

This experience will be one to remember, and you’ll have a lasting effect on wildlife because all the money raised through our experiences goes to support our wide range of conservation work around the world.

Maximum of 2 people. Suitable for ages 18+
