Customer Testimonial

 "Just wanted to drop you a line to say that we all had a fabulous day at Twycross Zoo for our team build event yesterday!

We felt very well looked after; the quiz was good fun and certainly got us running around the whole zoo seeing the most of the animals and I think we all learnt a few facts too!

The enrichment with Sophie Stevens was really well received by the team and was very rewarding being able to see the animals enjoying the treats we had just put together for them. The keepers of both the woolly monkeys and the elephants, where we provided the enrichment, were very informative and provided a great opportunity for all of us to ask lots of questions, which they were both willing to answer.

We will certainly be recommending the Team Build as a very worthwhile event to our colleagues.

The meeting room facilities provided were excellent and the food was of a very high standard.

Thanks again for the guided tour you gave us, especially the visit to the Tropical House, seeing a moving sloth was a highlight of my day!"
