Leap of Faith is an outdoor climbing adventure experience. The experience takes 40 minutes including the safety briefing. It is suitable for children aged four and over (adults can also take part). There is an additional charge for this activity. Animal experiences are also available including giraffe experience, junior keeper experience, lemurs, meerkats and more.
