Meet the Armadillos at the Exotic Zoo!
Overview
Today we have the rare opportunity to meet not one, but two very different types of Armadillo. Located at Exotic Zoo's impressive new venue, within Telford Town Park.
The Armadillo Keeper will allow us into the enclosure so that we can get up close and watch these cheeky creatures as they run around like little tanks!
The huge 6 banded armadillo will love to come out and meet us for a head rub and some hand feeding. The tiny 3 banded armadillos are very unique and will have us mesmerised as we learn all about their amazing armour and adaptions. This is a real treat not to miss!
We also have full access to the zoo so we're free to wander around at our leisure afterwards.
The Jungle Café: The zoo has recently opened their brand new café and as a special offer for Spice, we can enjoy a free hot drink here during our visit. If you're staying for lunch, feel free to dine in the café or bring a picnic to enjoy in the grounds if you wish.

Feedback from Meet the Armadillos in 2022
● It was really lovely meeting the Armadillos, I would really recommend it. They were so cute and the zoo keeper was very informative and gave us all some food to give them. She told us to make a ring with our forefinger and thumb and the Armadillos put their snout through and flick out their long tongues to eat up the food, which is live mealy worms!
They were amazing!
