My partner and I went to a Red Panda Encounter, where we got to enter the enclosure with a zoo guide and interact with the red panda on his terms.

Unfortunately one of the two pandas weren't keen on coming down, however the other one was very enthusiastic. I've never seen one move so fast.

He walked over our laps, and ate treats out of our hands. The guide took photos for us so we could be in them. She also told us various info about the red panda, and answered any questions.

All in all, it was awesome, and I'm very glad we did it. We have also done the lemur encounter, which I strongly recommend, though be aware they can be VERY loud.

The zoo itself is pretty good, though it is quite hilly. One of my favourite animals there is the caracal, though the meerkats and otters are always fun.
