Lancaster’s Williamson Park is launching a special four week ‘junior zoo keeper’ course, giving children aged 8 to 14 hands on experience of caring for the park’s collection of animals, insects and reptiles.
The course will run on Sundays between 1st – 22nd November and costs £20.
Bookings are also now being taken for children’s birthday parties at the park.
Groups of between 10-15 children can have an exclusive tour of the mini beast area and a behind the scenes view of what is involved in caring for all the animals. This will be followed by other party activities and party food in the pavilion cafe.
“We’re very excited by the launch of our new children’s parties,” enthuses Sharon Wilson, the park’s manager. “Children will get hands on experience of what’s involved in caring for the animals.
“They will get to meet Babs our royal python, George the water dragon and Sparky the parrot, to name a few.”
• Parties take place between 4.30pm to 6pm Monday to Friday, and between 2pm to 3.30pm and 4pm to 5.30pm Saturdays and Sundays. Contact the park for more information and to book a party.
