Things to do

At Shepreth Wildlife Park, adventure awaits around every corner, offering a world of fun for visitors of all ages. Dive into the vibrant life of the animal kingdom, from the majestic strides of tigers in the Big Cat House to the cheeky antics of primates on Monkey Island. The park isn’t just about watching from a distance; it’s about diving hands-on into the animal world. Ever fancied playing ‘pirates’ with parrots or giving a cockroach a gentle stroke? Now’s your chance! Plus, with pre-bookable unique experiences, you can indulge in the thrill of hand-feeding ring-tailed lemurs or frolicking with the meerkats in Meerkat Manor.

Home to a kaleidoscope of animals, from the roar of Sumatran tigers to the gentle flutter of red pandas and the playful leaps of ring-tailed lemurs, the park unveils the beauty of nature’s inhabitants. Keeper talks and animal feeds sprinkle the day with magical moments, including an irresistibly cute red panda feeding session that’s bound to steal your heart!

Embark on a journey through the park’s lush grounds and discover the wonders housed within, like the exotic tropical exhibit, the mysterious nocturnal exhibit, and the lively Monkey Island. Keep your eyes peeled for interactive stations that pop up along the path, inviting you to engage with the animal world in fun, unexpected ways.

Don’t miss out on Bug City, where the fascinating world of insects unfolds, or the chance to feed the fish from the jetty. And for those brave enough, a visit to the Raptor awaits! Choose from an array of Wildlife Park Experiences, like becoming a Junior Keeper for a day, diving into the life of a Tiger Keeper, engaging in Animal Encounter sessions, or meeting the lemurs up close. These experiences offer a peek behind the scenes and share the secrets of animal care.

The park plays a crucial role in the conservation of endangered species through its participation in European endangered species programmes, aiming to secure a future for species at risk of extinction. But it’s not just about the thrills and fun; Shepreth Wildlife Park is a hub of learning and discovery. Its commitment to education shines through interactive talks, hands-on encounters, and feeding sessions, bringing visitors closer to understanding the natural world and the importance of conservation.

Conservation efforts extend to the park’s Hedgehog Hospital, a sanctuary for injured hedgehogs, rehabilitating them before their return to the wild. Children can unleash their energy in play areas, families can enjoy picnics in picturesque settings, and pathways invite leisurely strolls through nature’s beauty.
