SHADOWING A  ZOOKEEPER FOR THE DAY!

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.
There is simply no way to get the full experience of  a zookeeper here in 1 day so we have separated 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, several cat or wolf. The primates are also introduced at this level and this includes the Gibbon (ape) and bush-baby 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.
*Attendee will received a Wildlife Wonders t-shirt.
*Lunch is provided
*We ask that you wear comfortable close toed shoes, long pants and clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
 *We also ask that you bring a water bottle to have with you throughout the day.


Picture cd.
    We also offer the person's experience on CD.    Here we make sure all your experiences are never to be forgotten and you will have memories and stories only those who see the pictures will believe from flying a hawk to petting a kangaroo, walking a water buffalo,  feeding the camels,  holding a young alligator, giant snake and much much more!!! 
  Cost for picture cd is $100 for 1 day  $175 for 2 days.
Attendee is more then welcome to bring their own camera and take pictures but we do recommend the CD, as this enables us to have someone their to take pictures of  your experience, and that way we can make sure to get plenty of pictures of you and the animals!
