Meeting the meerkats!
We visited the centre for my girlfriend's birthday, since she wanted to meet the meerkats from a long time ago and we enjoyed the experience a lot!! The man who attended us was very nice and respectful about all the animals; he let us feed the capybaras and the meerkats (they were soooo sweet). I really recommend this experience if you like animals : )

Perfect day for a curious animal lover
My 5 year old daughter is still raving about her day at ARC. She loved seeing all the animals, the feeding and doing crafts.
I asked her if there was anything she didn’t like about the day and said ‘yes, when it ended’.
We did a variety of holiday clubs over the week and this was by far her favourite.

The Arc is a great facility for all
My daughter loves attending the Animal Ranger sessions. She gets to interact with and learn about a wide range of animals and help care for them. They do something different each week and she loves all the animals and staff. The staff are always helpful on the admin side with arranging sessions, answering questions and payments too.
