WalesLocated near Doncaster, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is home to 475 different animals, including many species which are endangered. Visit the wildlife park for an incredible day out with fun for all the family!
Yorkshire Wildlife Park is home to some incredible animals and not just the same old ‘everyday’ ones you can get in any old zoo. Get ready to meet everything from giraffes, lions and hyenas to polar bears, red pandas and the grumpy-looking (but adorable) Binturong.
Every day, you’ll find interactive talks from rangers and even the opportunity to get up close and personal with the animals by helping to feed the animals. Feeding tigers, rhinos and polar bears is a unique experience for everyone in the family and a chance to make some unforgettable memories.
