Description

You’ll be welcomed by one of our keepers and given a short talk about our meerkats and porcupines, why they live at Fife Zoo and why they’re important.

You’ll then head over to the meerkat and porcupine exhibit to spend some time in their home as they scamper around your feet – and of course, you’ll be bringing some of their favourite food and enrichment with you!

This is also your chance to ask us all about the animals in our care.
