What Can I Expect

Take part in a kids' animal keeper experience in East Sussex - it's sure to have young animal lovers enthralled, as they spend time shadowing one of the animal keepers at this park near Eastbourne.

It really is a taste of animal magic for any youngster aged between eight and 15 years. The experience starts with meeting the animal keeper before heading off to discover just what the daily tasks of looking after farm animals involves.

Residents living their best life in the calm of the countryside around Eastbourne include fallow deer, ponies, wallabies, llamas and giant rabbits. And they are all waiting to be petted, watered and fed by your little ones, so if they love animals, they will love the chance to be with a keeper.

As they assist the animal keepers with getting the food ready for the animals, they'll learn loads about the animals in the park, how to look after them and what they like to eat. There's also plenty of time to stroke and handle these animals who are all used to being handled by children.

This kids' animal keeper experience lasts around 90 minutes (so they won't have time to get bored!) and all children taking part must be accompanied by an adult. Entry for those taking part is included so you can make this experience part of a fantastic and fun family day out with slides, rides and lots to see all on site.
