The New Forest Wildlife Park

About

Nestled in the beautiful New Forest National Park you can find something to delight every age at New Forest Wildlife Park.  

With conservation and education at its heart this much loved wildlife park is home to over 260 animals representing 40 species both native and from other parts of the world.    

Stroll round the wooded grounds to discover 4 species of otters including the Giant Otters for the Amazon,  owls, wolves, lynx, Eurasian bison, mouflon, pine marten, deer and so much more.  

Join the friendly animal keepers as they feed and chat about the animals in their care.

Our impressive playgrounds are for all ages and abilities to learn, play and exercise. If you are looking for a more personal experience to get up close or for that unusual gift  for a special person a Keeper Experience Day maybe be the answer to get a taste of what it is like to be a keeper for a day.
