I have an 8 year old who is the biggest animal lover you will every meet! Ever since she was three, she has been asking for a pet snake...I told her if she still wanted one when she was 10 that she could have one...she is 8 and has not wavered! We have guinea pigs who she religiously feeds and cleans out their cages and also feeds our dogs with very little prompting. She loves documentaries, particularly about reptiles. I would love her to do some kind of animal care tour at the zoo. It has been her dream since she was tiny to be a zoo carer or a vet. I saw you had keeper for a day for adults, but is there any "behind the scenes" tours for children. Regards Ainsley Cash

Hi Ainsley, Thank you for your post. It is great to hear that your daughter is so in love with animals! It sounds like she is a mini animal keeper at home already. Currently we don't have any tours which cater for young children but we are working on a program which will hopefully be available soon for people under the age of 18. I would recommend for you and your daughter to come and attend all of our shows and have a chat to the keepers after the show! In particular, at the 1:30pm snake presentation you will get to see and touch a large snake at the end. Our keepers love to have a chat after the show so don't hesitate to ask them many questions! I hope this has helped. Cheers
