Visit this beautiful wildlife park in the heart of the New Forest National Park, where friendly and knowledgeable keepers will introduce you to our amazing animals and to fascinating facts about their lives.
Hear about our conservation work with endangered species, and about how we rehabilitate animals rescued from the wild. Walk the natural woodland trails to meet Panambi and Meamu our mother and daughter Giant Otters. Be close to the inquisitive fallow and roe deer in the deer encounter enclosure. With European bison, Scottish wildcats, wolves, lynx, wild boar, wallabies, ferrets, hedgehogs, foxes, badgers, polecats, pine martens, mouflon, souslik, harvest mice, tropical butterflies and more, as well as several species of otters, deer and owls, there’s plenty to explore.
Our fabulous Go Wild adventure playgrounds, newly refurbished restaurant and tempting gift shop add to a wonderful family day out.   
Keeper talks everyday throughout the day - a chance to meet the keeper and be closer to the animals.

During school holidays we have extra activities - nature quiz trails, badge making and other crafts.
