Animal Carer Experience

Explore widllfie with our animal carers

You're between 12 and 18 years old and you'd love to enjoy an exclusive adventure and get up close and personal with the animals that populate the Wildlife Park? Then the special visit "Animal Carer Experience" is tailormade for you! During a couple of hours, you can experience the fascinating day-to-day tasks of an animal carer at the Domain of the Caves of Han.

You'll enjoy the rare privilege of getting a closer look at the brown bears, take part in their training, and help feed them by entering in their pen to hide their food. Then, you'll accompany our carer to visit the reindeer, the arctic foxes and the wolves and give a hand feeding and/or training them.

And you'll also have the opportunity of discovering the different Belgian endangered species conservation programmes in which the Domain takes part and visit the buildings spefically built for these programmes: the smooth snake pen, the European tree frog and yellow-bellied toads maternity ward.

An unusual experience, in the wings of the Wildlife Park, filled with discoveries and emotions! Enjoy talking to our carer and hearing his stories while experiencing a close encounter with Mother Nature!
