Meet the herd on a Mini VIP Experience 

As part of this exciting weekend, keepers are giving you the chance to meet some of the Asian Elephants for a 45 minute meet and greet experience.

For just £30pp, you could meet some of the females of the Woburn herd; Chandrika, Damini and Tarli while raising much needed funds.

Your booking is for a 45 minute non-exclusive experience where you will learn about the wonderful elephants and their characters from their expert keepers. There is no guarantee of how close the elephants will be, as they make their own choices, but you can generally expect to be within around 10-20 feet. 

Please note: The Elephant Mini VIP Experience is only suitable for guests over 12 years of age. Admission tickets are not included and must be purchased separately to enter the park on the day of your visit. 

Be quick to book yours as spaces are very limited!
