During your experience, you’ll have the opportunity to feed them, give them a scratch, and learn all about their natural behaviours from our expert zookeepers.

Next, it’s time to meet our tapirs. These animals love attention and affection, and they often lie down at your feet waiting for a tickle or a belly rub. If you’ve never seen a tapir up close, this is your chance to discover just how gentle and lovable they really are.
