We absolutely love receiving your positive reviews and sharing them with our team! Our final one for 2024 is from Kirsty following Noah’s recent junior keeper experience with us – well done keepers Amy and Sophia!

“Noah came yesterday for his junior keeper experience. It was a belated birthday gift which he had no idea he was doing. He had an amazing time. Both Amy and Sophia were brilliant. Noah came away super happy to have been able to see and learn about all the animals he met. A big thank you to Amy for the impromptu visit to Nugget, it made Noah’s visit even more memorable. Big thank you and can’t wait to book again ☺️.”
