The Lake District Wildlife Park is a must for all animal lovers! Set in breath taking scenery just ten minutes from Keswick, you’ll find there’s plenty to see and do.
Meet over 100 species – from Anaconda to Zebra, Mandrills and Meerkats to endangered species like Asian Fishing Cats, Gibbons and Lemurs. There are a range of engaging presentations that take place daily bringing you closer to many of the park’s favourites. Bird of Prey Flying displays, Reptile Encounters and a Rare Breed Farm Animal Collection. It’s fun for all the family and a great opportunity to meet some of our most endangered species.
With conservation at the heart of the park they actively support three charities and as BIAZA members they participate in six endangered species programmes.
There is an outdoor play area and also an indoor play area with soft play and ball pool for when the Lake District weather takes a turn.
If you fancy making your visit that extra bit special, the park offers some fantastic experiences for you to take part in:
Wellbeing with Wildlife

Bird of Prey Experience
After enjoying a Bird of Prey flying display your experience will begin. The park’s falconer will teach you how to recall and hold the birds, starting with an owl.
