Take a walk on the wild side at New Forest Wildlife Park

New Forest Wildlife Park is a great way for the whole family to discover the beauty and joy of Britain’s natural world. The park specialises in the conservation of native and post-native wildlife in Britain and provides habitation for an array of the world’s otter and owl families.

The park is home to more than 260 animals from over 40 different species, including bison, boar, wolves and lynx. While being known for its rescuing and rehabilitation of vulnerable otters, owls, deer and foxes, the park also takes pride in educating people of all ages about these wonderful creatures. There are a range of experiences for the whole family to enjoy, from peaceful woodland trails to exciting adventure playgrounds.

Enjoy all this and more with New Forest Wildlife Park discount codes from Kids Pass.

Top 5 things to do at New Forest Wildlife Park

Explore the woodland trails

As your family travels along the multiple woodland trails, you will encounter a diverse mix of the park’s animals. From the proud bison and mighty wolves to the friendly deer and the antics of the otters, the magnificence of these beings will never cease to amaze.

Learn with the keepers at the talks and feeding sessions

Feel free to join the park's keepers with your family throughout the day at one of the several feeding sessions. If you are curious about what the otters eat or why the wolves howl, the keepers will be more than happy to answer your questions. There are also animal encounter sessions throughout the year for you to get up close with different species and birds.

Have fun at the adventure playground

Nestled amongst the trees and still in sight of the wildlife is the Go Wild! adventure playground. There’s a zip wire, climbing ropes, spider nets, swings, birds’ nests and more to get your adrenaline pumping. For the little ones up to the age of six, there is Mini Go Wild! to enjoy. This space features diggers, sandpits, slides, climbing frames and swings, all within a safe area.

Adopt an animal

Be part of the park's conservation programme by adopting an animal of your choice. Your contribution will help the animal to be cared for and contribute to the conservation of the species.

Get stuck in with the Gold Keeper Experience

Join the animal keepers with their daily activities. Whether you would like to feed the otters or care for the deer, roll up your sleeves, put on your boots, and gain a first-hand experience with the animals that will stay with you forever.
