Weekend in London: Meet the Capybaras

For capybara enthusiasts looking to experience these gentle creatures up close, Hobbledown Heath in London offers a unique opportunity. This zoo and amusement park is home to five capybaras, including two younger ones around two years old. The feeding session lasts about 15-20 minutes and is incredibly soothing. To book tickets, search for 'Hobbledown Heath Capybara' online. There are only two time slots available each day at 12:15 pm and 3:15 pm, with a maximum of four people per session, so tickets are in high demand. If you plan to visit on a weekend, it's advisable to book 1-2 months in advance. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the park entrance to the capybara area, and it's recommended to arrive 15 minutes early. Before interacting with the capybaras, you'll need to sign a safety waiver and wear gloves. The capybaras prefer sweet foods like sweet potatoes and carrots over leafy greens like lettuce and celery. They enjoy being petted on their necks, feet, and bodies. Remember to wash your hands after the session. The cost is £55 per person, which includes park entry. Besides the capybara experience, you can also see other animals and enjoy various attractions, making it a great destination for families with children. Most visitors are parents with kids.
