Get closer than ever to some of Jimmy’s most magnificent residents with our Big Cat Experience. Meet our stunning Asiatic lions, Kamal and Rani, and our beautiful Amur tiger, Kalinka, and discover what makes these incredible predators so special.
During this unforgettable encounter, you may have the chance to help feed the cats and hear fascinating insights from one of our expert rangers about their personalities, daily care, and the conservation work that helps protect their wild counterparts.
It’s a thrilling, behind-the-scenes experience that offers a rare opportunity to connect with three of the world’s most iconic big cats.
ULTIMATE BIG CAT EXPERIENCE

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW

WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE DAY
- Upon arrival at the park, by 11.30am, check in with the pay desk to let them know you’re here. Please note, the big cat experience time is set at 10am, please ensure you arrive in enough time.
- They will get in contact with the rangers to determine the closest possible start time for your experience.
- Until then, you are free to walk around the wildlife park, check out the shops or get some food.
- Meet the ranger at the designated place and time and have fun!
