We are set in the quaint village of Wingham, between popular Canterbury and Sandwich. Our park diligently cares for more than 200 species- that’s more than ANY other zoo in Kent! This includes the only Penguins, Orangutans and Chim

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!

🧡Happy World Orangutan Day!🧡
We are lucky enough to be home to four Bornean Orangutans, Molly, Belayan, Jin and Awan.
Both couples were introduced to one another over month ago and have been getting along with each other really well. This is great news for the conservation of these critically endangered species as they face threats from deforestation of their natural habitat and human conflicts.
Show this post some love for these amazing animals and lets try our best to ensure they are around for a long long time to come!🧡
