The Lake District Wildlife Park
Located in one of England's most outstanding areas of natural beauty, The Lake District Wildlife Park shelters several hundred animals. Spread across approximately 10 hectares (25 acres), the grounds' natural enclosures allow visitors to observe both domestic and exotic species, including gibbons, zebras, deer, birds of prey, and a variety of reptiles. The park regular hosts falconry shows and lectures about rare breeds of domestic animals. Families with small children can take advantage of tractor rides, an adventure playground, and animal feedings, which occur at regular intervals throughout the day. In addition to picnic and rest areas, the park also contains a small restaurant and gift shop.

Great Wildlife Park with lots of happy animals cared for by hard-working, knowledgeable people. A good variety of animals: Farmyard to Forest & the more Exotic. Animal feeding for the little ones & Keeper talks & Bird of Prey displays throughout the day, which keep everyone entertained. We did the Hawk Walk experience which was absolutely mind-blowing & highly recommended!! John our guide was excellent & allowed us to fly owls, a Harris Hawk & even a Hooded Vulture! As a special treat we got to hold a Bald Eagle, which was incredibly special & something my partner & I will never forget. I'd recommend everyone to visit & support this wonderful place.

Had a fantastic visit to this park. Very well laid out. Had fun "chatting" to the parrots who shouted hello back & also goodbye! John at the birds of prey show was hugely entertaining, fed the alpacas & goats & had a lovely lunch at the cafe. Would thoroughly recommend a visit. Loads for kids to do too.
