About this activity

It's time to get WILD in Bedfordshire at the iconic ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, where the whole family can spend the day walking amoung some of the most beautiful animals in the world!

From proud lions, to adorable aardvarks, towering giraffes and majestic rhinos, this brilliant day out at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo let's kids come face to face with these very creatures - AND learn all about them too!

Can you spot the spots on the leopards? Have you met the new baby Asian elephant named Queen? (Who doesn't love baby animals!?)

What's also great about ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is that getting around the park is super easy. You can drive in your own car, or you can take the Safari Bus, or even the train! Of course, if you love to keep active then grab those walking shoes and head on around the encloures in your own pace. 

For those kids with all that energy who want something more, you got it! Hullabazoo Adventure Play is where they can enjoy fun outdoor play adventures with ropes, slides, challenges and more!

Don't miss checking the feeding times of the animals so you don't miss out, and check what extra experiences you can take part in to make your already WILD day out even WILDER!
