The Big Cat Sanctuary Ticket Portal

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.

Whether you're a budding zoologist, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, or simply curious about the inner workings of a zoo, our Extraordinary Exhibits session explores the world of life here at the Sanctuary and the dedicated care that goes into looking after our amazing cats. This event offers an educational experience, allowing participants to gain insight into welfare, enclosure design, and enrichment.
