About

Please note that booking is not essential but if you would like to book your tickets in advance they are available here!
With the backdrop of the Skiddaw massif journey on foot around the 24 acres of parkland visiting over 100 species of wild and domestic animals cared for in this beautiful setting by their qualified and highly motivated keepers. A range of engaging presentations take place daily bringing you closer to many of your favourite animals. Watch exhilarating Bird of Prey displays, educational Reptile talks and fun and interesting Lemur, Otter and Red Panda talks.

With conservation at the heart of our ethos we actively support three charities and as BIAZA members we participate in six endangered species programmes.

Specialising in home cooked wholesome food the cafe is a great asset to the park and serves a fantastic range of meals, snacks and sweet treats. There are also ample picnic facilities outdoor and under cover should you prefer. The gift shop provides a range of toys to suit all pockets and should be your first port of call for animal adoptions and keeper experience packages. There is an animal themed outdoor adventure play area! Come and see us...it’s a fun day out for all ages!
