Peak Wildlife Park

Families can wander through carefully designed habitats that mimic the natural environments of the park's residents, allowing for close-up encounters with species from around the world. Whether it's walking alongside waddling penguins, observing the curious ring-tailed lemurs, or spotting the majestic zebra, the park offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn about animals' habits, diets, and conservation status!

The Animals

If you're looking for an immersive animal experience, now is the time to get up close to the animals at Peak Wildlife Park! With large walkthroughs and enclosures for animals, you can literally follow in a penguin's footsteps, sit next to a lemur and pet, feed and wander amongst the wallabies! Not to mention a whole range of animals like the meerkats, the African pygmy goat and the lowland tapir - just to name a few!

Say hello to their resident polar bears, Hope, Nanook and Noori as they settle into their home! Mum, Hope and her two cubs join us all the way from Finland and they're certainly making a splash in their brand new 5-acre reserve!

There are keepers on hand giving regular keeper talks about all the amazing animals so you can get to know them all a little better, as well as understand all about how to look after them.

Children's Playtime

After meeting and greeting the animals children can play in the outdoor play area with a large sand pit, or head to the Jungle Bounce – a huge bouncy castle!

From the jungle gym and space hoppers to the indoor soft play area! There's two large jungle themed levels packed with fun, like slides, bridges and ladders for the kids to burn off some energy!

Make some new friends you’ll never forget!
