New Forest Wildlife Park details...
Nestled in the beautiful New Forest National Park you can find the New Forest Wildlife Park, with something to delight all ages.
With conservation and education at its heart, this much loved Wildlife Park is home to over 260 animals, representing 40 species, both native and from other parts of the world.
Stroll round the peaceful woodlands to discover four species of otters including the endangered Giant Otters from the Amazon, owls, wolves, lynx, Eurasian bison, mouflon, pine marten and more. Get closer to nature as you walk through the friendly deer and wallaby enclosures. Learn interesting facts and see the animals being fed as you join the friendly Animal Keepers as they feed and chat about the animals in their care.
Go Wild in the two adventure playgrounds, one for under 6’s with a sandpit, rope swing and climbing frames, and one for over 6’s with rope merry go round, rope swing, challenging high ropes, spiders web bridge and more. A great place to learn, play and exercise.

Otterly enjoyable day out!
We knew very little about the New Forest Wildlife Park before we went, but we were looking to go somewhere that we hadn't been before and after checking out their website we decided to give it a go - we were not disappointed! The Park had a very relaxed atmosphere and we obviously timed it right because almost all of the animals were out and about and in the mood to entertain! Of all the animals on show, the otters were (rather predictably) the highlight, very playful and energetic (we even had to pop back for a second visit at the end of our trip to see a bit more of the action!). This is nicely sized wildlife park, not too big but with plenty to see, easily enough to keep everyone entertained for at least half a day, and loads of large adventure playgrounds thrown in for the kids for good measure. Timing is probably quite key, we thought that maybe the animals got a bit more sleepy after feeding time so best to get there beforehand (and in time to watch) if you can. Really nice place to stumble across.
