The Big Cat Sanctuary Ticket Portal

Big Cat Encounter

Our Big Cat Encounter provides an extraordinary opportunity to observe and hand-feed one of our beautiful big cats. 

Choose your species, arrive at the Sanctuary from 9.30am, and let your guide introduce you to your cat's story, personality, and role as an ambassador for their kind. Then comes the moment itself: a hand-feed, up close, with one of the world's most extraordinary cats.

Your experience includes full-day access to the Sanctuary, a certificate of completion, and the option to add lunch at Heritage, our on-site restaurant.

Please note, that while you may select a preferred species to hand-feed, the individual cat is chosen on the day by our keepers based on welfare, temperament and availability. The species may need to change to reflect circumstances. 

Perfect for solo visitors or couples, with space for up to three additional guests to watch.
