What Can I Expect
Discover your own corner of Meerkovo here in the UK with this adorable Meerkat Experience! Get to know these furry, inquisitive creatures in the company of the centre's expert meerkat keeper and fall in love all over again with these cute critters.
Despite not being a native species in the UK, meerkats have proven to be eternally popular with animal lovers of all ages. This East Sussex adventure park has a splendid Jungle Kingdom area that is home to several nimble, lively meerkats and these experiences give you the chance to get up close and learn about their individual and lovable personalities.
On the day of your visit, the experienced meerkat trainer will lead you right inside the enclosure, where you'll be invited to take a seat, ready to watch what unfolds.
Meerkats are naturally very curious and are often keen to get to know their visitors, so don't be surprised if one comes right up to you and decides to explore. Even if they keep their distance, you're bound to see them standing on their hind legs looking over towards you in that classic meerkat pose, so make sure you bring your camera!
Meeting the meerkats gives you a truly memorable visit. The keeper will also give you interesting facts and information about meerkats in general. These sessions make fantastic gifts for animal lovers and you only have to look at these bright-eyed bundles of fur to fall in love. Why not treat yourself or someone special to one of our unforgettable meerkat experiences and mark that occasion with a day to remember?
Spending time with the meerkats is just one of many exciting experiences that are on offer, so be sure to check out the great choice of IntotheBlue experience days we have available. Simples!
