panzees in Kent as well as the only Moon Bears in the whole of the UK, plus many other very popular species including,

- Tigers
- Giraffes
- Parrots
- Flamingos
- Red Pandas
- Meerkats
- Sloths
- Crocodiles
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!

✨Big or small, conservation is our GOAL✨

A leap in the right direction for WWP🐸

These Lemur Leaf Frogs are critically endangered in the wild. Markus, our curator, is on the committee for this species.
We have recently welcomed a few more froggy friends to our family and paired them off in the hopes that they will breed.
Their numbers in the wild have plummeted in the last few decades due to the illegal pet trade and deforestation.
These little frogs have a huge impact on their environment and ecosystems so stay tuned for more updates as we progress with our mission to conserve this species🤗

Goliath Palm Cockatoo, a parrot like no other! With a punk-rock crest and deep, resonating calls, this incredible bird is full of personality. They also use tools, tapping sticks to mark their territory like a drummer. 🥁
