Drusillas Park

About

Make WILD memories and enjoy a great family day out at the award-winning Drusillas Park. Drusillas offers a loving home to over one hundred exotic animals, including sloths and penguins!

However, animals are only half the fun! Experience the NEW Rainforest Adventure Attraction. Explore four new rides nestled among a jungle of animals and plants! Ride Jungle Jeeps but watch out for the spitting anaconda, spin on Toucan Twister, fly on Amazon Skyrise and watch toddlers learn to drive Junior Jeep!

Swing, jump and climb your way across the Park’s large adventure play areas, get lost in Mungo’s Maze and take to the skies on a whole host of other amazing children’s rides including the Hippopotobus, the Flying Cheetahs, and the Rainforest Carousel. There’s even a chance to grab your swimming costume and splash about on the Get Wet! splash pad.

When you fancy a break from all the running around, sit back and relax as you journey deep into the heart of the zoo on the Safari Express train. 

Make sure you explore Jurassic Jungle! Take a walk back in time and discover a lost world of Jurassic giants. Get ready to ROAR and CLAW your way through the incredible prehistoric walk-through.

Drusillas also offers great disabled access and recently opened a Changing Places toilet as well as supporting the Sunflower Lanyard hidden disabilities scheme. For full details regarding accessibility please view the access statement on the Drusillas website. 

Spark your imagination at Drusillas Park with the UK’s largest immersive sensory play experience. See little eyes marvel in wonder as they discover a magical world where reality and technology collide, in an explosion of colour and light. There is a small additional charge to experience Spark - pre-booking is advised.

Drusillas are champions for conservation and as part of their Conservation in Action programme they are currently fundraising for and supporting The Sloth Conservation Foundation

Have a zooper exciting day out that all the family will remember!
