Encounter Anteaters, peer at Giraffes, roar at the Lions or waddle like a Penguin, in over 160 acres of beautiful parklands.Take a ride on the railway around the Park or climb into the tree house in the adventure playground. You’re never too old to visit, there’s something for everyone. Whether it’s the beautiful planting, or over 250 different species of animals, insects and birds. It’s wheelchair and pushchair friendly!Take a picnic and watch the Rhinos and Zebras while you eat or enjoy lunch in the Oak Tree Restaurant. Take shelter inside our Reptile House (if you dare) and peak at the snakes and crocodiles or hide away in the dark Bat House. Creep into the Tropical house and see if you can spot the sleepy Sloths or leap about with the Lemurs in their walk-through enclosure so much to do…!Take a peek at our website for more information and events…Follow us on facebook and twitter « less

“Ok I suppose!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 24, 2012 NEW

We visited on a cold may day, and whilst I could see that the gardens would be lovely later in the season, most of the animals were asleep and looked sad and bored. Perhaps it was the weather. It wasn't that expensive for us to enter as a family of 5 and I am pleased about that otherwise it would... More

“Don't eat in the restaurant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

We visited the park on a very wet day. Unfortunately almost all of the exhibits are outdoors so without any shelter from the rain we got quite wet. There were a couple of things that were indoors, a tropical house containing tropical birds and a reptile house. I believe they also have an insect house but this was closed during... More

“Wonderful day”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2012 NEW

We had a very good day at the wildlife park. A nice variety of animals which my son (15 months) found fascinating. The Madagascar walk through was great with Lemurs jumping around all over the place. There is a nice playground and plenty of open areas where my son could stretch his legs. We went on a weekday during term... More

“Nice park for the family”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 19, 2012

Interesting and not too big wildlife park. The selection of animals there is good however there are not many animals per species. Otherwise, there is a playground and a train for the kids and adults to go on, all facilities required and a restaurant, which can be very crowded at peak times, so a good idea would be to bring...

“What a lovely, lovely wildlife park”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2012

I normally get bored of looking at animals from a million miles and really find it unamusing to have the trim ripped off my car by those 'cheeky monkeys' but here I had a really nice time because you can get up close by entering enclosures - except for the wolves and lions because they'll rip your head off!
