The VIP Tour is a 2-hour interaction which will be hosted by one of our expert rangers. The ranger will lead you around the zoo to see and learn about the different animals we house and how our keepers care for them. During the tour, you will stop by 4 to 5 specially selected animals and take part in some animal interactions. This will include preparing some of the animals’ diets, hand feeding and creating some enrichment devices.

We only accept one booking per slot, so your experience will be exclusive to you… and your friends if you can bring yourself to share!

Each VIP tour will last for up to two hours, and you will be free to enjoy the zoo for the remainder of the day. This experience includes admission into the zoo, and you’ll also get a complimentary car park pass and a Blackpool Zoo souvenir.
