Fantastic visit to Ark Wildlife Park. All the animals are rescues, which I think makes it a particularly nice place to support as they are giving all those wonderful animals a great new home. The lady who served us was very nice, friendly, welcoming and informative. I love cats and I was absolutely thrilled to find they have a Savannah Cat, Servals, Caracals, Lynx, Bobcats, Jungle and Wild Cats. As we walked around, we discovered a whole range of lovely animals. Tanukis, Skunks, Wallabies, Racoons and Red, Silver and White Foxes were among our favourites. All the animals looked happy and well cared for. There was also a spacious playground, soft play area and Jurassic area with animatronic Dinosaurs. Afterwards, we had a delicious toasted sandwich, panini and cakes in the cafe and purchased a souvenir from the gift shop. Thank you to everyone at Ark Wildlife Park for an amazing day out and the brilliant work that you do! Would highly recommend!

My husband was given this trip as a Meet the Meercats gift . We had an amazing time, the keepers had such knowledge and were so helpful with any questions asked. We spent ages with the meercats , feeding and playing with them . The Ark does amazing work taking animals that would otherwis have been put down . Please support them with a visit .

We had an amazing experience with the arctic foxes. We got to make them some enrichment boxes with some meal worms in for the foxes to enjoy and placed them in the enclosure with them. They loved it and we loved watching them interact. One male - Jack, kept coming up to us - very used to humans. The lady who gave us the experience said he was so used to people as he recently had been diagnosed with epilepsy. The lady was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. We then got to explore the rest of the wildlife park. Thank you for such a fabulous experience!

Great experience all round from arriving to leaving I felt welcome and really enjoyed my encounter experience. Keeper on the day was polite professional, knowledgeable and above all showed a lovely, caring attitude towards all the animals, she clearly loves her role and is a credit to your team 😊 I met with a fabulous trio of Skunks, beautiful red foxes and stunning wild cats, being given the opportunity to feed and provide enrichment as well as interaction to suit each animal accordingly. Lunch was included and the lovely lady in the cafe made a lovely lunch and I recommend trying a delicious homemade cake. Everyone super lovely and friendly, I was on my own and didn't feel awkward in any way. The Ark is a lovely place and provide the very best to animals who just haven't been treat fairly or right in life, so many "kept as pets" then disgarded. All animals looked content and happy in their spaces and lots of thought gone into pen designs and enrichment, no ideally these animals wouldn't be here they should be living their lives naturally in the wild, but humans created their fate being thoughtless and selfish so I'm very grateful The Ark Wildlife Park exists for them.

I bought this experience for my husband's 60th birthday. We are both animal lovers and always like watching the Meerkats on zoo visits etc. so the experience was right up our street. We both had an amazing time. The Meerkats were super cute, friendly and it was a real hands-on experience. Chloe our guide was really lovely and it was fascinating learning all about Meerkats in general. We hand fed them, they climbed all over us and even used our heads as their viewing platform 😍. Following our Meerkat encounter we walked around the rest of the wildlife park to see the their other rescue animals. We would definitely recommend the Meerkat experience or even just visiting the wildlife park. We will definitely be going back in the summer for another 'meet the Meerkats' experience!

One of the worst wildlife parks I've visited. The enclosures was small poorly built and disgusting. Some animals was knee deep in mud . The path to walk on was unstable and slippery . Would not recommend and definitely not worth £13.50 entry .

Meerkats were amazing along with the rest of the animals, staff and volunteers! Great value for money. Lots of different animals.

Fantastic day out. Very informative keeper. Would recommend this experience to everyone Fed the Arctic foxes and in the pen with them. Then strolled around the park. Great cafe as well

I drove over an hour to be told it is closed. Told I could go back another time but my granddaughters were going home the following day. So lost £40 so not happy.

The Meerkat Experience was brilliant. They are inquisitive, adorable creatures; ate out of our hands, climbed on us like trees, and sat on us. You could tell the Zookeepers love them and their jobs. Thank you for a great experience.

Me and my partner did the meerkat experience, they were very friendly! The staff were very friendly and great when it came to advice and asking questions. Had a great time looking around the park at all of the other animals aswell. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice day out!

I had an incredible experience with the foxes! If you’re an animal lover, especially fond of foxes, this is an absolute must-visit. The zookeeper was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable, kind, and clearly passionate about the animals. All of the staff were equally lovely and went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. It’s evident that they truly care for the animals in their care.

Did the meerkat encounter and had so much fun, learnt a lot about the meerkats and they loved the attention! Then walked around the rest of the wildlife park which was amazing.

Me and my partner did the meerkat encounter experience and it was honestly the best experience ever!!! The staff were all so friendly and welcoming, despite a power cut which meant the reptile area was closed it was still super fun. It was really nice to see all the animals with so much room to explore in and so many toys , which I feel is rare to see in other animal parks. The animal keeper who did our encounter was so lovely and told us so many things about the meerkats and answered all our questions. Would highly recommend this place!!!

I booked the ultimate experience for my daughter on her 21st birthday. The journey up to the park was going very badly with the drive going from just over 4 hours to an expected almost six whilst en route! In a panic we called the park to explain and they were amazing, reassuring us that we could still attend despite arriving well past the booked time. On arrival the greeting was warm and friendly, the keeper that accompanied us on the 3 chosen experiences was knowledge, friendly and helped make my daughters special day one to remember. Thank you all so much for providing such exceptional service and ensuring my daughter had a magical experience with animals she truly loves. The look on her face was worth the long journey there and back. Would recommend a visit to this very worthwhile park that provides much needed care for rescued exotic animals.
