Impressive assort of animals. Looking a little run down in areas and some matanace is needed. Some food options seemed a little overpriced for cheapness of products used. Kids enjoyed the animals and had plenty of fun at the park. Walk around took us about 2hrs, would recommend taking a picnic as there are many areas/spots to enjoy one with some great views. Love the fact you can interact with the animals and pay for the experience to take part in everyday running of the farm park.

This was my first visit to Lincolnshire Wildlife Park and I had a really enjoyable day out with a friend. The park is clean, spacious, and well laid out, with a clear one-way route that makes it easy to see everything without feeling rushed. The enclosures are well spread out and there are plenty of opportunities to get good views of the animals and birds. You could easily spend several hours here, and I felt the admission price was very reasonable for what was on offer. One of the highlights for me was the incredible variety of birds. There were so many different species, and I loved how interactive parts of the park were. It was great being able to see some of the birds up close rather than always behind traditional enclosures. The staff and zookeepers all seemed very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the animals in their care. At the entrance, there was an option to purchase food for specific animals, including birds, meerkats, and fish, which added another interactive element to the visit. My friend was unfortunately nipped on the finger by a cockatoo that mistook her finger for food, but the first aid staff were excellent and dealt with it quickly and kindly, which was much appreciated. The animal talks throughout the day were really interesting. We attended talks about the birds and the lions, and it was encouraging to learn about the rehabilitation work being done for some of the birds that had come from unsuitable environments or had behavioural issues. The keepers were informative and clearly cared deeply about the animals. I also really liked some of the unique touches around the park. The meerkat enclosure had cameras streaming to a Twitch channel, which I’d never seen at a zoo before and thought was a fantastic idea. The restaurant was clean and had reptile enclosures built into the walls, allowing you to watch reptiles while eating, which was a nice touch. The reason I’m giving 4 stars rather than 5 isn’t really because of the park itself, but because of some visitor behaviour I witnessed. Despite food being clearly intended for specific animals, I saw people feeding it to animals such as the reindeer and tapir. I also saw someone trying to touch wild ducklings near the pond area. I appreciate it’s difficult for the park to control every visitor, but perhaps more signage or reminders about appropriate animal interactions could help. My concern is that repeated feeding of the wrong food could potentially affect the animals’ welfare. The only other minor issue was the restaurant service. There was quite a long queue and it seemed like only one person was actively serving while several others appeared unsure of what to do. Some additional training or better organisation might improve the experience during busy periods. Overall though, this is a fantastic wildlife park with a huge variety of birds, caring staff, interesting talks, and plenty to see and do. I’d definitely recommend a visit and would happily return in the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An absolute gem of a place – incredible customer service! We recently visited Lincolnshire Wildlife Park with my two youngest children and had the most wonderful day out. From the moment we arrived, the experience was fantastic. The lady on reception was incredibly welcoming and lovely, which set a great tone for the whole day. The park itself is brilliant—the kids loved seeing the animals and we got to see so much of it. We also stopped by the café, and the staff there were equally friendly and attentive. What really stands out about this park is their exceptional management and customer service. After a minor issue during a previous visit, the CEO, Steve, went completely above and beyond to personally ensure it was resolved and that our next visit was perfect. It is rare to see a business care so much about its visitors. My children had a brilliant time, and we will definitely be returning regularly throughout the 6 weeks holidays. Highly recommend a visit!

We visited for the first time and the park definitely did not disappoint. I had arranged our tickets to include the Bengal Tiger Tour, and what an incredible experience it was. The keeper who guided our tour (unfortunately I forgot her name) was so passionate, knowledgeable, and kind, which made the whole experience even more special. Getting to meet these magnificent big cats up close with our little boy (minimum age 5+ for booking) created such a special core memory for our family. Meeting their new white tiger, Alek, and hearing his story was incredibly heartwarming. We were also lucky enough to meet their white lion while he was waiting for his tour experience — and snack! Lucky because he apparently sleeps for up to 21 hours a day, but we got to see him in full “hangry” mode waiting for his keeper. Seeing his sheer size and hearing his roar up close was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, the whole park was fantastic. I’d definitely recommend buying the animal food, as it allows you to interact with the parrots, birds, fish, and meerkats. The parrots were my son’s favourite, especially in the first two walk-through aviaries. The birds were very tame and would happily land on you to feed and interact. The weather forecast predicted thunderstorms, which meant the park was much quieter that day — something we actually preferred. There were plenty of picnic areas for anyone wanting to bring their own food, including sheltered spots, and the park also has a large café selling a good selection of food and ice creams. We will definitely be visiting again over the summer and trying more of the experiences, but the Bengal Tiger Tour is an absolute must.

Amazing zoo, we got some animal feeds which were fun to give the meerkats and birds. Going in with the birds was great even, just be careful with piercings I forgot about an earring one tried to get but they didn't seem to bother my facial piercings. The nature part also had some cute little ducklings. Can't wait for another visit when I'm back in the area
