To name but a few! We also have several walk-through exhibits and offer lots of unique and unforgettable encounters (including Penguin, Giraffe, Tiger feeding and Keeper for the Day). Meaning that you can make memories that will last a lifetime as you get up close and personal with all your favourites! In addition to our alluring animals, we also offer lots of opportunities for family fun and adventure with the largest animatronic dinosaur zoo in the county, 18-hole mini golf course, large indoor soft play area, photo opportunities, animal feeding stations, outside play areas, go karts, Bug Gardens and more! We are committed to inspiring a deep passion for the natural world. Therefore, your support not only directly helps us care for our own animals but also contributes to our vital conservation projects too. We can’t wait to welcome you for a big WWP adventure soon!

🖤Move it, move it to WWP🖤
We are home to three different species of lemur.
Ring-Tailed, Black and white Ruffed and black lemurs are all endangered in the wild.
They are all unique in their own way but are all endemic to the island of Madagascar.
All species of lemurs can be found on this one island and face many human caused threats such as deforestation of their natural habitat.

These gorgeous snakes are apex predators with their incredible camouflage and strength.
