Lake District Wildlife Park

Just a ten-minute drive away from Keswick, the Lake District Wildlife Park makes a brilliant day out for animal lovers. 

Highlights of the Lake District Wildlife Park

Over 100 species of both wild and domestic animals are housed at the park. A mix of birds, mammals and reptiles can be found, giving you plenty to explore and learn about during your visit. Some of the species you’ll see include: 

• Scottish wild cats
• Otters
• Lynx
• Lemurs
• Gibbons
• Zebra

It’s worth planning your day around feeding times as you won’t want to miss the red pandas, Mei Li and Charu having their lunch. You can also watch the gibbons and lynx being fed which is great fun. For curious minds, you’ll also get the chance to attend daily talks about some of the different species at the park. 

For an extra special visit, you can pre-book a selection of animal experiences to make your day unforgettable. 

The family friendly park has good facilities. You’ll find a café serving wholesome meals, snacks and drinks so you can refuel during your visit. There are also plenty of picnic facilities if you prefer to take your own food. The gift shop is the place to go to buy keeper experiences, adoption packages and to pick up a souvenir of your visit.
