For you or the animal lover in your life that’s dreamt of getting stuck in and being a keeper, this fantastic experience day will let you join the team at Hoo Farm Wildlife Centre near Telford in Shropshire, to be an Animal Keeper for the day! This is a very hands-on experience, as you’ll get to muck in and undertake many of the daily tasks. You’ll start off with some of the smaller animals, including hedgehogs and tenrecs - after all, it’s about keeping all creatures great and small happy, healthy and comfortable. That's part of being an animal keeper. Most people that go on this experience will always look forward to spending time with Bear, the raccoon - raccoons are usually quite shy and retiring creatures, but Bear is very friendly and it’ll be a highlight of your day for sure. So too, will the most important part of any day in the life of a keeper - meal times! And whether it’s bottle feeding the goats, or giving food to the meerkats, it’s highly enjoyable. Of course, there’ll be time for you to stop for lunch as well. As well as meeting other amazing species such as foxes, possums and binturongs, you’ll also get to spend time in the company of the majestic and graceful European eagle owls - you’ll even get to take part and assist in some of the demonstrations that the keepers do with these for visitors.

Craig Tolley
Really good day out. I went as the nominated adult for my daughter as the day was all for her. She had a great time holding the animals, stroking the hedgehog, feeding the lemurs, so much so that she can't actually name what was the best part of her day. Despite having done similar things before I also had a great time and was really impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge shown by the keepers.
Laurie

Susan horsfield
My daughter and I had a great day at hoo farm as zookeepers for the day, lots of hands on with the wildlife and feeding them. Especially enjoyed the hands on with the babies that was wonderful.
Heather
A wonderful 1/2 day at Hoo Farm meeting a variety of animals with a great keeper who was friendly and knew lots about the animals and their history. Hoo Farm is a lovely animal park that has expanded since I visited last year and has further plans to expand. Many of the animals had had young or are expected to have young soon which is always a very positive sign if animals feel happy to breed. A lovely mix of animals with good viewing access. Well worth a visit.
