'Breakfast with the Bears' - a unique chance to be a zookeeper in West Lothian for a day

Five Sisters Zoo in West Lothian are offering up a 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience to care for their four rescued brown bears.

If you are one of the privileged few to grab a ticket to the 'Breakfast with the Bears' event you will get to meet the zoo's European brown bears and go behind the scenes with one of their carnivore keepers.

According to a Facebook post from the zoo:

"You are given the opportunity to spend the full morning with our 4 rescued bears, cleaning, feeding and providing them with enrichment.

"After the experience you will then head to our Leaping Lemurs Restaurant for some breakfast. You will also be given a gift bag to remind you of this wonderful experience and access to the zoo for the rest of the day."

The 22nd June event sold out immediately and the zoo are now advertising their 29th June session to the public.

Tickets are £160 and just four are available per session. To book your place please call the zoo on 01506 870000.
