The elks here live in their natural environment of forest, meadow and lakes and they are well looked after by their keepers and cherished by the owners of this attraction. So much so, that one of them swims with the elks – surely a world first and something you might see if you come here. Your guide will tell you everything you need to know about these fascinating beasts and the open-sided viewing platform takes you to within touching distance of these gentle creatures.
Fantastic photo opportunities abound here and you’re children will love it.
