Zoolab - Animal Encounters

Get Up Close with Amazing Animals – ZooLab at Princess Pavilion!

Looking for an unforgettable family day out this summer? ZooLab is coming to Princess Pavilion on Friday, August 1st, bringing their incredible team of exotic animals for an exciting, educational, and hands-on adventure!

Perfect for curious kids and animal lovers of all ages, ZooLab’s animal handling sessions are led by expert rangers who make learning about the natural world fun, safe, and interactive. Meet a variety of fascinating creatures – from giant African land snails and stick insects, to snakes, tarantulas, and even tree frogs – and hear all about their habitats, behaviour, and amazing adaptations.

Each session is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, encouraging children to ask questions, touch or hold the animals (if they’re feeling brave!), and leave with a new appreciation for the creatures we share our planet with. Whether it’s your first time meeting a tarantula or you're a budding zoologist, this is an experience that’s guaranteed to spark wonder.
