Summer at WILD Zoological Park
There’s lots going on at Wild Zoological Park at Halfpenny Green Vineyards all year round but the summer is the perfect time to visit as the park, which is open seven days a week, has later opening hours and lots of special events.
What makes a visit to this family run zoo extra special are the shows and animal encounters that are included in your ticket price and are NOT to be missed.
A standard ticket includes:
Wild Wings Free Flight Bird Show. This is the UK’s biggest free-flying bird show. Old and young cannot fail to be captivated by this spectacular display where more than 100 birds from around the globe swoop and soar above your head. Look out for eagles, hawks, macaws, cockatoos, owls, vultures, kestrels, pelicans and storks.
Wild World of Dinosaurs Show. Step back in time and discover the giants of the past in this prehistoric-themed spectacular – a dino-tastic experience for kids and adults alike! This theatrical experience features special effects, puppetry and animatronics. Come face-to-face with brachiosaurus, raptors, pterosaurs and the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex.
Wild Wonders Animal Show. Meet some of the zoo’s most fascinating creatures up close as the zoo’s expert keepers showcase their amazing adaptations, personalities and behaviours.
