Our new giraffe experience brings you up close to the tallest land animals in the world, our herd of Rothschild’s giraffes. Feed the herd some ‘leafy greens’ and quiz the keepers who care for these extraordinary animals.
Walk on the wild side and make your day at Belfast Zoo even more memorable with this once in a lifetime experience.
