For learners who have a keen interest in the arts and the amazing world of big cats, this day should be the perfect opportunity to engage with cats and conservation from a more artistic perspective. You may be exploring cat anatomy through investigating and sketching replica big cat skulls, creating portraits or honing your photography skills using our very own big cats as your subjects!
For an additional charge, there is the opportunity to take home your own Kasanga the lion Cardimal®. Modelled after our very own handsome African lion Kasanga, these recyclable cardboard puzzles offer a hands-on challenge that you can decorate here on site or take home to do later.
