⛔️CLOSED FOR WINTER PAUSE ❄️

We’re currently closed for our winter pause so we can plan for next years calendar and carry out much needed maintenance around the Wildlife Park 🐾

Our keeper team got some good shots of one of the common marmoset’s ‘supervising’ some of our maintenance work 🤣

Don’t forget we have a Christmas event on the 13th/14th December with a market and an opportunity to meet the big fella himself 🎅

Meet Santa is booking only and tickets can be purchased on the link below ⬇️

Did you know that Wallabies are well adapted to the wintery weather? ❄️🦘

They grow a thicker, fluffier winter coat that helps them to keep warm during this time of year. They are also great at conserving energy by slowing down, eating more of their nutrient rich diet and enjoying their bouncy straw beds!

Make sure you come and visit us on the 13th and 14th December and enjoy the cosy side of wildlife with us ❄️✨
