Zoo keeper for the day and junior keeper
Keeper for a day £98.50
The Oasis is pleased to be able to offer a rare opportunity to be a keeper for the day. This is exactly what is says, a chance to work with a regular keeper looking after a whole range of exotic animals many of which you can actually go in with - an unforgettable experience. Unlike the larger zoos where you are assigned to a section and only deal with one group of animals at the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis you will be involved with the majority of the collection from monkeys to meerkats – just look at the rest of the website. Please wear practical clothing that you do not mind getting dirty and some sort of jacket for out door work (Wellingtons are not normally necessary). You will be given a free T-shirt to wear on the day, which can be picked up on the day or sent out beforehand.
This makes a fantastic present for any animal enthusiast age 16 or over. We have had keepers for the day of all ages (the oldest in her late seventies ) and is also at a fraction of the price of many large zoos.
The day runs from 10.00-4.00, with your lunch included. At the end you will be presented with a certificate to remember your day. And don’t forget your camera!
Please phone the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis on 015395 63027 from 9am to 5pm any day (including weekends) to make a booking.
Junior keeper £54.50
(age 7 -15 including an accompanying adult.)
All those too young to be a keeper for the day can now be a junior keeper for a morning session. There will only be one junior keeper at any time working directly with one of our keepers. You will get to do real work with a range of animals – including some you can go in with. Keen Junior keepers can have the authentic zoo keeper experience and we will do our best to include interaction with any favorite animals. Junior keepers need practical clothing that is not too valued and some sort of coat\jacket(Wellingtons not necessary). You will be given a free T-shirt to wear on the day, which can be picked up on the day or sent out beforehand.
Please bring a camera to record the highlights. You will be presented with a certificate at the end of the time.
Junior keeper sessions are every day starting 10.30am until 1pm.
The session is for the junior keeper and one adult only and does not include lunch. Participants have full entry to the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis for the rest of the day (though not restricted areas) Any other family or friends will be charged usual price and will not be allowed in staff areas.
This would make a brilliant present for any animal mad youngster aged from 7 to 15years.
Please Phone the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis to make a booking.

'It was the best day of my life I would definitely like to go there for my next birthday and I`d advise everyone to try it. Working with all the different animals, insects and reptiles was great, especially when i had a snake around my neck, that was amazing. Letting the animals eat from my hand was cool. So anyway I would advise parent to take their child there for the day!'
