2025 Dates 

For 2025 we are reviewing this experience to ensure that we are providing the best experience for our participants and our Tiger, Miron.

We will be posting an update regarding availability on 3rd December 2024.

This is a once in a lifetime experience to meet and feed a beautiful Amur tiger. Hosted by an expert zookeeper, you'll get a unique insight into the life of an Amur tiger and the chance to ask questions about these incredible animals.

This 20 minute VIP experience begins with a health and safety briefing from our expert zoo keeper.
