Come and meet Victor the red deer stag, Hamish the pine marten and Hettie the hedgehog at New Forest Wildlife Park and help us to conserve endangered species and rehabilitate injured animals from the wild. Our tame fallow deer wander freely through the deer enclosure or watch the 50+ harvest mice scurrying and keeping busy in their glasshouse home. Our two female lynx are experts at camouflage but they will be watching you! If you are lucky you may be treated to the spine chilling sound of a genuine wolf howl which echoes round the park. It’s great fun watching the lively Asian short-clawed otters at play or the giant otters splashing in their pool. There are polecats, mouflon, wild boar, wallabies, ferrets, Scottish wildcats, European bison, foxes and North American river otters to enjoy as you wander round the trail. It’s a great day out for all the family. There are many species of owls to admire, including snowy owls Chilli, Orkney and Herdi, little owls and barn owl Hobbit. You’ll learn fascinating facts from the friendly keepers on their daily feeding rounds.
The New Forest Tour Bus red route goes right to the door in the summer months and there are special events in the school holidays. Check out www.newforestwildlifepark.co.uk or the park’s Facebook page for more information.
Due to the Corvid 10 to ensure your safety we have a one-way system in place around the park with arrows and signs to guide you. Please respect these signs and the recommended social distancing. We have suspended Keeper Talks for the moment but our keepers will be working and feeding the animals and are only too pleased to stop and chat.
The cafe is currently a one -way system for snacks, hot and cold drinks.
Unfortunately to adhere to Government guidelines the playgrounds will remain closed until futher notice.
The Tropical Butterfly House is also closed for this season as it is a warm enclosed space with narrow paths which cannot comply with the virus guidelines.
