Junior keeper experience

Child with lorikeets

Our junior keeper experience is designed to give you a hands on, behind the scenes view of what’s involved with looking after animals at Bristol Zoo Gardens. The sessions take place on Saturdays and Sundays and last 2 hours. During this time you will have an opportunity to experience and have fun in four key areas: 

  • Animal enrichment
  • Housekeeping
  • Food preparation
  • Animal feeding

During the session you’ll have plenty of hands-on experience of cleaning enclosures, feeding, and animal enrichment.
