Meet the Giraffes at Whipsnade Zoo

Get up close to the world's tallest animals with this special Meet the Giraffes experience.

Enjoy feeding our giraffes their lunch whilst an expert Zookeeper tells you about our giraffe herd, as well as some fascinating giraffe facts.

What to expect on the day of your Meet the Giraffes experience

This 20 minute VIP experience begins with a health and safety briefing from an expert keeper who will then take you to our special giraffe feeding area, which takes you up close to our giraffe herd.

You'll then help our keeper hand feed the giraffe as you learn more about this amazing species. There will be a maximum of four people taking part in the experience, giving you lots of time with our giraffes and keeper.
