Set a budding animal enthusiast on their exciting path to zoological discovery with this amazing gift experience. You can both explore the astonishing world of our animal neighbours as you traverse the UK’s largest zoo, either in your own car (extra charges apply) or on foot. Discover many different species and over 10,000 unique creatures, including tigers, chimpanzees, giraffes, penguins, zebras, red pandas and rhinos. A ride through wild animal territory on the Great Whipsnade Railway steam train is well worth a try (extra charges apply), as are exciting visits to the awesome exhibits on wildlife conservation. Whether it’s Cheetah Rock, Giraffe Heights, Lions of the Serengeti, or the state-of-the-art Centre for Elephant Care, this is sure to be a fun-packed day that will educate as well as entertain. There’s even an outdoor play area where the kids can run wild!
