Share the good life
Get up close and personal to our tapir
Discover South America’s largest land mammal in one of our most popular experiences.
‘Teddy’ and ‘Tip Tap’, our two adorable lowland Tapir, love nothing more than a good chin scratch or belly rub…especially if you’re feeding them treats at the same time!
One of the laziest and most affectionate species in the wildlife park will ensure you have an experience to remember.
Help the rangers feed and interact with these majestic, lovable and conservationally important animals.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Duration, price, minimum age: see above.
- Minimum ages to participate are detailed by each encounter.
- Maximum number of participants is 4 people (2 for “Anteater Antics, Bear & Big Cats”).
- It is entirely the choice of the animals whether they wish to participate in the experience or not. Luckily the promise of some tasty treats normally proves all too tempting, but sometimes they may not be in the mood; in which case you will enter their environment and get to view them up close whilst being told all about them by your supervising ranger.
- Our experiences include entry to the farm and wildlife park for the whole day. Any additional guests will need to pay full entry price.
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!
