Animal Encounters
Get ready for an unforgettable experience with our close-up animal encounters at Greenacres Animal Park. Our park is home to a variety of exotic birds, reptiles, and mammals that you can meet up close and personal.
Guided Animal Encounters
Our guided animal encounters are suitable for all ages and offer a unique opportunity to learn about and interact with our fascinating animal residents. From feeding sessions to educational talks, you'll get to see our animals in a whole new light.
How it works
Select an animal of your choice and enjoy a 20-minute session for only £40 per person. Get up close and personal for a truly unforgettable experience.
Some animal encounters have an age restriction to ensure the experiences are safe and enjoyable. This includes our Hybrid Wolves, as visitors have to be over 16 years old to enter their enclosure.
Children 11 and under must be accompanied by a paying adult.
Entry to the park is not included with the encounter. Visitors must purchase this separately either through our website or on the door.
Full Terms & Conditions can be found further down this page. Once these have been carefully read and a species has been chosen, you are ready to book your experience!
Please be aware, once you have booked your experience, this will need to be confirmed by the office and you will not receive a confirmation email until this has happened. Being a small, family-run zoo, we have limited resources and staff availability and will therefore need to ensure a member of staff is available to make your experience unforgettable!
If your selected date is not available, a new date will be offered. Find out more in our full Terms & Conditions.
Animal welfare
Animal welfare is our top priority and therefore occasionally some animals may not be available for encounters. This will be advised upon enquiry.
If animals are heavily pregnant or have recently given birth, for their best interest and safety, your experience may be delayed until they are more settled.
The animals behaviour is also assessed on the day, if their behaviour is not 100%, their keepers have the full discretion to cancel the experience and offer to reschedule.
Book Your Encounter
For just £40 per person, you can book your close-up animal encounter at Greenacres Animal Park that lasts 20 minutes with a 1-to-1 chat with one of our experienced keepers.
Before booking, please carefully read the terms and conditions to avoid disappointment. Then simply select your preferred date and time slot, and get ready for a hands-on experience with our incredible creatures.
