Follow the zookeepers for a day!  A great gift for an animal lover!  See up close and personal a variety of animals!  Help feed, train and interact with the animals here at North Georgia Zoo.
Their is simply no way to get the full experience of  a zookeeper here in 1 day so we have seperated it into 2 levels!
Level 1 Keeper Shadowing cost is $150.   Day starts at 8:30 and ends at 5:30.   We provide lunch.  The person shadowing will get a chance to experience help in feeding, cleaning,  training and hands on experience with a variety of animals from livestock, armadillos, porcupines,  kangaroos,  birds, reptiles and more.  They will get to see animals such as water buffalo, zebra, fennec fox's, camel  and more. 
 Level 2 Keeper Shadowing cost is $200  but cannot be done without level 1 being done first.     Level 2 introduces the carnivores including the wolves and wildcats.  Here the person shadowing will get a chance to interact with a lynx, serval cat or wolf.   The primates are also introduced at this level and this includes the Gibbon (ape) and bushbaby plus others.   Level 2 also includes experience flying the hawk and other interactive animal training.   We ideally like to encourage both days as a package as it really takes a full 2 days to experience/shadow  all aspects of the zoo
 Package Deal:   If you purchase both days at once the cost is $300.
