Bird Flu update

Due to the current Avian Influenza (Bird Flu) restrictions, we have had to make some temporary changes around Wildlife World to help protect the health and wellbeing of our birds.

The upper penguin viewing walkway will be closed until further notice. You may also notice that some of our birds have been moved to different locations or indoor areas as part of our disease prevention measures.

These precautions are being taken in line with national guidance and are designed to keep our birds, wildlife and visitors safe during this period.

Our animals remain healthy and continue to receive the highest standards of care from our dedicated team. We will keep visitors updated as the situation develops. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

 

Outdoor play area update

We’re delighted to be starting work on a brand‑new outdoor adventure playground, designed to offer more space for exploration, greater challenge and plenty of opportunities for children of all ages, interests and abilities to play.

To make sure construction can take place safely, a large section of our existing outdoor play is currently closed. While work is underway, the timber play area will not be available for use, but the fenced play area for younger children remains open.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
