Really Wild Options
Why not combine a full or half-day conference with an unforgettable and educational animal activity? Choose from any of the following:
Close Encounters
Are you brave enough to handle snakes, rats or cockroaches?! A 45 minute animal handling session for up to 15 delegates, introducing you to a variety of reptiles, rodents and insects in a very safe and secure environment. A truly memorable experience.
Team Building
For half-day conferences, why not enjoy your buffet lunch followed by some effective team building with a 2-hour trail around the Zoo, ending with an awards ceremony in the Mansion House – complete with a glass of champagne and prizes! A series of varied, intriguing, illuminating challenges focused on the Zoo and its animals - success requires teamwork, imagination and skill.
Evening Guided Tour
After a hard day’s training, why not treat your group to a guided tour of the Zoo at sunset, in the company of one of our education professionals, focusing on the behaviour and conservation need of the animals. It’s a great way to enjoy the Zoo when it’s closed to the general public. Then finish off the evening with a sundowner drink and nibbles in the Mansion House bar.
Corporate Evenings
Corporate evenings are very popular. Your company or organisation can enjoy exclusive use of the Zoo for your staff, guests and family on a summer evening, complete with a barbecue, jazz band, Hilltop Safari , trails and animal encounters.
We can cater for up to 2000 people! Prices available upon request.
