Visitor information

Yes, we’re open every day of the year – 365 days. That includes days such as Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, all at the same times and with no surcharges.

Not technically. We’re a wildlife park, most of our animals live in open areas and you can hand-feed many of them yourself.

No. Tickets are sold on arrival, no pre-booking required.

Our pride continues to breed, so cubs appear from time to time. Check our Lion Pride page for who’s currently here.
