The Junior Keeper Experience Wins National Award
Newquay Zoo's Junior Keeper experience recently won a national award from BIAZA (British & Irish Association for Zoos and Aquariums) due to the depth and variation of tasks children get involved with.
The awards held at Knowsley Hall, near Knowsley Safari Park were presented by Lord Knowsley. Newquay Zoo Educator, Mark Norris stated, "This is a fantastic achievement for Newquay Zoo as we were up against some top competition from much larger zoos across the country. It really does show that Junior Keeper is a quality experience for children to get involved in."
Newquay Zoo's Junior Keeper scheme has become more and more popular each year giving children aged 8 - 14 the chance to get hands on experience in a fun and exciting environment. Enthusiastic Educator Robyn Silcock says, ""It really is great! The kids get one on one time with one of our expert education team and experience a private and behind-the-scenes tour of a working zoo." Animal feeds, preparing enrichment devices for the zoo's animals and getting to meet some of the reptiles up close is what makes it so popular.
