Behind the Scenes: Junior Explorers

About Junior Explorers at the Safari Park 2013

Your little VIPs are learning to use their senses everyday to discover the world. In this tour, made just for them, we’ll help them discover how our VIPs (our animals) do the very same! Look, listen, and smell your way through the Safari Park as your guide shows you how the animals’ senses are the same or different as ours. Meet an animal who tastes with its skin and another who communicates using their sense of smell. Get up close to animals and use your sense of touch to see how they feel. Even offer tasty treats to the animals and, if you’re very brave, try some treats yourself! This fast-paced tour will keep your little one laughing and learning as they meet animals up close, use all of their senses, and have fun exploring the Safari Park!
