Twycross Zoo offers a range of Zoo Experience Days, perfect for the animal lover in your life. The venue’s animal-feeding experiences allow you to get up close and personal with some of your favourite ‘beasts’, while at the same time picking the brains of the knowledgeable keepers.

The Keeper For The Day experience, meanwhile (which includes a special junior option for those aged between seven and 17), is a hands-on adventure that will give you the chance to help the keepers take care of some of the zoo’s many and varied residents, including zebras and apes.

Prices start from £80, find out more at twycrosszoo.org
