Meerkat Encounter at Adelaide Zoo

Mingle with the inquisitive Meerkat mob in this fun and interactive experience. Join a dedicated keeper in the Meerkats’ exhibit, get up close to these adorable animals as they run over your lap in search of tasty mealworm treats.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about these fascinating creatures, why not do it over breakfast – Meerkat style!

Their Meerkat group is very social and always has one or two sentries on duty keeping watch over the rest of the group. Meerkats by nature are very inquisitive and enjoy exploring new things, especially enrichment items designed to keep the group physically and mentally stimulated. And what better form of enrichment than human visitors with tasty treats?
