Meet exotic animals including lions, tigers, leopards and bears on accessible concrete paths throughout this family-friendly wildlife park in Lincolnshire.

Wolds Wildlife Park is a fully licensed zoo home to a diverse collection of exotic animals including leopards, tigers, lions, hyenas, zebras and bears. Founded in 2013 by owners Andrew and Tracy, the park started as a private collection before opening to the public in 2018 and obtaining its full zoo licence in December 2019. The park continues to grow, with many animals being rehomed from other collections. Visitors can explore the wildlife park via wide concrete paths that are fully accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs, making it suitable for families with young children and those with mobility needs. The venue offers lots to see and do, with daily events and keeper talks allowing guests to learn more about the animals. Families can book tickets in advance online, and the park operates 7 days a week during the Spring/Summer season (March to October, 10am-5pm). Beyond standard admission, Wolds Wildlife Park offers unique experiences that allow visitors to get closer to the animals and meet expert staff. Additional offerings include group bookings, school visits, animal adoption programmes, and special events for societies and community groups. Members can enjoy unlimited visits and exclusive benefits throughout the year.

An absolutely stunning Wildlife Park. The animals looked so well taken care of and the enclosures were very clean. You could see the care taken in everything. A lovely little giftshop which also had ice creams which was definitely needed when we went! There was a food hut serving food such as burgers, sandwiches and jacket potatoes as well as slushys. We didn’t end up eating there so can’t comment on the quality but it smelt lovely. Loved the giant teepee to sit and eat although it was very stuffy in 26 degree heat, however you could also eat in other places around the park including an undercover section where you could sit right next to the tigers and hyenas. The experience of being able to sit in the car which went into the tiger enclosure was surreal and incredible. We watched the female bear have a splash in their pool and could see the hyenas up close which was unforgettable. It is a small wildlife park but the experience makes it worth many visits. It was very quiet when we went on a Monday morning but we went 2 years ago when it was a bit busier and enjoyed it immensely still. Lovely clean toilets with fancy Dyson taps was a big bonus too. The parking was plentiful and only a short walk to the entrance. All of the staff were very friendly and added to the trip. There was construction of a meerkat enclosure and an ice cream stool going next to the children’s play area which will make lovely additions. Can’t wait to visit next year. Worth every penny.

Gorgeous park with such a brilliant variety of animals. We went due to our little one starting to grow a fear of bears. She saw then in person and was in love with them. The park was clean a d tidy we went on a feeding day was lovely to see the animals enjoying this. The toilets were clean. We had food was reasonable price. Free parking. There was work being done which looked like they are expanding which is lovely to see. Again the work being done was kept tidy and safe for visitors to get round. There were wooden sculptures of animals around the park which was stunning.

Not the biggest zoo I've been to but definitely in my top 5 favourites. Animals are well looked after and have good sized enclosure's. Lots of different animals and probably the only zoo I've been to where I actually saw them all. If you are within a 2 hour drive I'd highly recommend. Loved it!

An absolutely amazing first visit to Wolds! I was incredibly impressed and will definitely be back. ​The Animals & Talks: Plenty to see, with regular and engaging keeper talks throughout the day. ​Fantastic Staff: Keepers Chloe and Dylan went above and beyond, stopping to chat and sharing so much great information with us. ​The Highlight: The Hyena walkthrough! Being able to sit right next to these amazing animals was a brilliant experience. ​Highly recommend a visit, and we'll definitely be returning soon!

Weve had a fantastic day there today.i wasnt busy, we didn't feel rushed. The animals all look well looked after and are relaxed. We spent about 4 hours in total, we ended with a Capybara feeding session which id pre booked. It finished the day off superbly. You can see what they're trying to do with the place, it's coming along nicely. I'd certainly go again!!
