Junior Zoo Keeper Experience - 10th Birthday present! BEST £200 (for 2 children) WE'VE EVER SPENT!!! Our daughter Lara is animal mad and we didn't think we could do any better than last year's Alpaca Walk at West Leith Farm (especially as February in the UK is not great for weather) - BUT WE DID!!! The Junior Zoo Keeper experience is for 2 children over 6 (10 years is definitely they youngest I would go with) with 2 accompanying adults (and let me tell you - as 1 of the accompanying adults we did almost as much as the children just by observing). The morning session lasts 3 hours. The day started with some cleaning of the pony resting areas (about 20 minutes) then they prepared the food to feed some animals - Flemish Rabbits, Capybaras, Otters, Lemurs, Meerkats, Monkeys - which took a good 1.5. We then visited the birds of prey and had cuddles with the guinea pigs. 3 hours went by in a flash - but also didn't feel rushed. The whole experience wouldn't of been half as incredible if the brilliant and immensely knowledgeable Tally (sorry If I spelt your name wrong) wasn't running it! What an expert in her field and how incredible is she with the children too? Seriously, you know you've done a blinding job as a recruiter when Tally represents your organisation like that! Sadly we couldn't stay to explore the rest of the farm/park but we will DEFINITELY be back! We did manage to get some food in the cafe on the way out and it was better than the usual quality of sandwiches, nuggets and chips!

We had a wonderful day at Hobbledown Adventure Park! My daughter absolutely loved all the different play activities and had so much fun exploring. She was especially excited to see the animals, including the horses, camel, and goats. The park is well maintained, and perfect for a family day out. Highly recommended for anyone with young children!

Brilliant place to go with kids of all ages. Lots of things to do and see. Massive outdoors with amazing animals, indoor soft play and other activities you can join in on. The food was great too and reasonable price. Highly recommended for a day out.

My boyfriend and I enjoyed a brilliant capybara feeding experience at Hobbledown Epsom over this past weekend. The experience itself was a little over 20 minutes, but gave us plenty of time to feed, make a fuss of, and take plenty of pictures with the capybaras. The staff were very knowledgeable, giving us information about these animals, whilst also telling us the best places to tickle them to get them to roll over! I absolutely would recommend and would go again. We paid £75 a person and that included the admission, it is absolutely essential to book in advance because of how busy these experiences get! Thank you to all the Hobbledown team:)
