Lookout Lodge is back for the 2026 season at Whipsnade Zoo!

We’ve had a fantastic first week—amazing animals, fresh spring air, and a zoo full of daffodils.

There’s nothing quite like waking up to the sights and sounds of the wild and this is just the beginning!

Who’s ready for an unforgettable stay this season? 🦒💚
