Did you know that we are a charity and that your admission helps us to protect and save rare and endangered animals here at our UK sanctuary! Our Gift Aid admission prices include a donation to our parks conservation work and enable us to claim Gift Aid on your admission. They are 10% more than our standard day ticket prices. You will be asked to pay the donation price unless you request to pay the standard admission price. Your support helps us to fund our vital conservation work.
Concessionary Tickets & Carers
Concessionary tickets are discounted from the standard full price admission. A concessionary day ticket will permit entrance for one day and we allow one free carer on production of DLA or PIP letters. Concessionary tickets do not apply to children under 3 as they are entitled to free entry. However, if the child under 3 years old requires a registered carer, the registered carer will be required to purchase a concessionary rate adult day ticket.
The disabled person must show the following identification to qualify for concessionary rates; Benefit Award Letter from the Department for Work and Pensions (e.g. for Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance or Incapacity Benefit) or a Blue Badge. Please note free carer access requires production of DLA or PIP letters.

Gift aid it
Your ticket helps us to protect endangered animals around the world. Our price includes a 10% donation to our charitable work which allows us to claim tax back from the government’s Gift Aid scheme. So, for every £1 you spend, we get an extra 25p towards our charity work.

Separate tickets can be purchased separately, alternatively book as additional members and purchase the tickets on arrival.
I'm a member and want to book an encounter?
Members and season ticket holders can book encounters and safaris here.
I have encountered error 483
Unfortunately, this error is a result of a members revisit slot and another ticket being in the same transaction.
Members revisits currently need to be booked in a separate transaction, if you wish to book for members and a toddler, please book the toddler as an additional member.
