WARDEN FOR A DAY

The Highland Wildlife Park offers a Warden for a Day package. Come and work with us and see the varied life of an animal warden!

The day starts around 8.30am with our animal wardens as they check up on the animals in their sections. You will receive a Highland Wildlife Park sweatshirt to wear on the day. The animal enclosures are cleaned out and the animals are observed for any signs of illness or injury. Some of the animals are also fed at this time. As a Warden for the Day, you can choose which section or sections you wish to help out on.

Cleaning the sections and feeding some of the animals like the snow monkeys, takes us up to lunchtime (with a tea break in between). Lunch is from 12 – 1pm and is provided in our Antlers Coffee Shop. At this time, you may also wish to have a look around our Wildthings Gift Shop where you will receive 25% discount on purchases (10% on books) in our Wildthings shop for the day.

Between 1pm and 2pm there is time to help out with preparing the afternoon feeds for the Main Reserve before assisting the warden feeding the wolves. After this you can join the patrol vehicle in the drive-through reserve to help feed the reserve animals.

The day finishes with a well-earned rest at 4.30pm.

The itinerary may differ slightly from the above on the day, depending on circumstances at the time.

If you wish to make a booking, contact the Park on: 01540 651270 or e-mail a completed booking form (see below) to wildlife@rzss.org.uk. The cost is £100 for the day per person. Payment is generally made on the day itself.
