Went with family. First couple animals we went to check out the cages were empty. After wandering further up the park we got to see some beautiful local critters. They had a nice playground as well. I would go back but there wasnt any particular wow factor. More

The Wildlights display at Christmas is beautiful. Be aware that if you are coming from Kamloops, it is usually colder out there so dress warmly. You don't see animals at night but the lights are nice. You can still ride on the Wildlife Express and they also have a maze to walk through. During the rest of the year, the... More

We visited the wildlife park during the Easter Long weekend. While I had heard about the park from a few people, I found the park to be average. Despite it being a sunny and relatively warm day and a decent number of people in the park most of the animals were inside their resting enclosures away from the public view.... More

Great displays, fun train ride, a good winter/christmas evenings entertainment. It takes at least 2 hrs to go through, so dress warmly because it is all outside. Great for the whole family. It is just light displays, no animals (they are all in bed), but well done, some with christmas carollers and actors. More

We visited the wildlife park for a day back in September 2011. It is easy to find and well signposted from the highway with plenty of parking. Tickets are reasonable and there was no queue to get in, however the cashier had to find a collegue to work out how much change to give us from a $50 note...this took... More

This is one of those treasures that can only be enjoyed by being there. It is a really good place for taking kids to see and learn about the animals that grace our province and beyond. Well worth the time and money - to bad the water park is gone because they complemented each other well in the summer months. More

You see lots of animals up close that you never have the opportunity to in your regular life. Grizzly bears, wolves, coyotes ( the tricksters ). Owls, eagles. It is a great pleasure to have a wildlife park of such a high caliber in Kamloops. You can take the kids and make a day of the park as there is... More

The train is fun for the kids and a break from walking for the adults. Follow the path up the hill & there is a waterfall. Nice to see animals in big areas instead of small cages at the zoo. Great place to let the kids run. More
