Animal Experience Days: Get up close and personal with these incredible animals during the Meet the Meerkats Wildlife Experience in Cheshire, a wonderfully unique gift for all animal lovers!

Whether it's purchasing cuddly toys, picture calendars, or watching Meerkat Manor, you guys just can't get enough of these fascinating animals! Now you have the opportunity to experience real live meerkats in the flesh. This experience is particularly good as you can still photograph the animals, learn about them, watch their amusing antics - and you don't have to clean up afterwards! Your Meet the Meerkats Wildlife Experience starts at the Discovery Centre with a health and safety talk from your expert keeper, ensuring you'll be as comfortable with the meerkats as they are with you. Moving into the enclosure, you'll spend a fun-filled thirty minutes interacting with the meerkats, learning interesting facts from their keeper and asking as many meerkat-related questions as possible. Meerkats are confident, inquisitive animals who won't be shy about climbing all over you!

Seeing meerkats in a relaxed and friendly habitat is the best way to meet and greet them, making the Meet the Meerkats Wildlife Experience in Cheshire an extraordinary day out for those who love animals and want to learn more about them. A truly unforgettable animal experience day!
