Our Animals
Take a walk on the wildside
When you come to visit us here at Wingham Wildlife Park fully expect to receive a warm welcome from all of our resident animals that live at the park.
Whilst you are here you can enjoy a unique hands on experience, feeding the various species of free roaming birds such as Peacocks, Ducks, Geese, Chickens, Bantams, Pheasants and much, much more. (Food may be purchased at the admissions desk).
You can get up close and personal with more of our residents in our well-known educational, hands on, animal encounter talks (twice daily on weekends - during our peak period and all week during school holidays). You can expect to meet and handle a selection of reptiles, spiders and also get to meet some of the babies that needed to be hand-reared by our staff.
Walk through enclosures with the deer’s and wallabies. You can walk through with the prairie dogs and now you can also get to walk through with the Ring-Tailed Lemurs.
