The Zookeeper for the day experience at Drusillas Park Zoo
18th April 2007

Photos of the Drusillas Park Zoo Zookeeper for the day experience.

Ever since we became members at Drusillas Park Zoo about three years ago our daughter Joanne has been nagging us to let her be a keeper for a day. We finally agreed that she could do it for her 9th birthday and these are some of the photos of that day. It was a really great experience and I would recommend it to anybody. During the day she fed Penguins, Meerkats, Prairie dogs, Coatis, Wallabies, Lemurs, Capyburas and much more, she also got to hang out behind the scenes and help prepare food for the animals etc. It was well worth every penny. Thank you Claire for helping Joanne have such a great day.
