Wet weather? No problem!
Port Lympne Reserve is an outdoor experience, but we don't let a little rain stop play. We recommend getting wrapped up in your waterproofs and fanciest wellies and finding the biggest puddles to splash in!
Shelter in the Forest
As well as shelter from the worst of the Great British weather under the trees of Dinosaur Forest, you'll also find some of the fiercest creatures that ever roamed the earth lurking amongst the undergrowth. Spinosaurus makes a great umbrella while the kids explore the rest of the 3 acre woodland!
Warm up
Once you've spotted the animals that love the rain (top tip: rhinos LOVE a mud bath!), you'll be ready for a steaming coffee and a tasty treat at one of our restaurants. The hotel bar is a cosy place to sit with a warming drink to watch the raindrops splashing in the ornamental pond or marvel at the thunderstorms across the English Channel beyond the reserve.
If the weather really has dampened your spirits, our Rainy Day Guarantee for all day visitors who have booked in advance means that you can return to the Park free of charge within 30 days of your original booking. Rainy Day tickets must be claimed from the Gatehouse before you exit the Park on the day of your original booking.
