A day at London Zoo is always good fun, but did you know that you can pay a bit more money and get even closer to the animals? And when we say 'close' we really do mean CLOSE. You will be met by a zookeeper and led into the actual enclosure itself!
Obviously they don't do it for all the animals (the lions aren't very friendly, apparently) — it's only the super-safe ones that won't bite your head off. You can usually choose between four different animals - the meerkats, monkeys and penguins - but for some dates you might find there's only one animal available.
Each event is slightly different depending on which animal you choose, but you will usually be led into the enclosure and allowed to see them up close. Sometimes you will even be allowed to feed them. The zookeeper will be there at all times to answer your questions and tell you about their habits and to stop you being eaten (hopefully).
If you know somebody who has an interest in animals then it will make for a really nice treat. But if you really want to make them happy then how about going one better and letting them become a junior zookeeper for a day?
