Welldean Wild Animal Park is open 7 days a week, every day of the year. Between April and September, we are open 10am until 6pm, and from October to March, we are open 10am to 4pm. Last admission will be one hour before closing time.

We have a wide range of wild animals for you to see, including monkeys, elephants, lions and a special kind of camel. All the animals live in the environment which is as similar to their natural habitats as possible. Our newest arrival is a brown bear. This animal comes from Asia where it lives in forests and eats mainly nuts, roots, grasses and insects.

The animals at Walldean wander freely around the park. Therefore, for your own safety, we ask you to stay in your car as you drive through the park, and to keep your windows closed at all times.

If you would like to support our work, you can join our Welldean Friends Club or adopt an animal. It costs £12.50 a year to join the club; adopting an animal costs between £10 and £200, depending on the animal.

We look forward to seeing you at Welldean Wild Animal Park and hope you will enjoy your visit.
