Meet the Tigers

Get up close and feed world's biggest cat, the Amur tiger, with a special Meet the Tigers experience.

Please note that our Meet the Tigers experience is currently unavailable due the arrival of our new tiger, Miron who needs some time to settle into his new enclosure and routine. Please check back on 31st July for an update about availability.

Ticket and Voucher Holders:

We now have a new tiger, Miron at Whipsnade however he will need time to settle into his new enclosure and routine before we can restart our experiences. We have taken the difficult decision to cancel bookings until 5th August. All ticket holders have been contacted directly if your experience has been affected. 

For voucher holders who have not yet redeemed their experience, we will be honouring vouchers which may expire over this period. Please do contact us at [email protected] if you have any further questions.

This is a once in a lifetime experience to meet and feed a beautiful Amur tiger. Hosted by an expert zookeeper, you'll get a unique insight into the life of an Amur tiger and the chance to ask questions about these incredible animals.
