Meet the animals and their keepers!
Younger Rangers, aged 7-12yrs, will get an idea of what it takes to care for some of the world's most endangered animals when they take part in our Junior Ranger Short Course.
The short version of our ever popular full day Junior Ranger Experience, will give your children a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes at Howletts with a guided VIP tour of the park with an Education Animal specialist.
Here's What They'll Learn
Throughout the morning or afternoon (the experience is approx. 2.5 hours), the children will meet our specialist keepers to find out all about saving animals from extinction, how animals are adapted to the habitats they live in and how we feed and house our animals to keep them happy and healthy. Children are encouraged to ask as many questions as they like!
