If you love seeing different types of animals in natural environments, then Wildwood is the place for you.
You must go and see the Elk, such a magnificent creature and the 2 new bear cubs are definitely people pleasers.
The play park is great for the younger visitors to burn off that last bit of e...

Really upsetting to see the lynx and the wolf so stressed. Constantly pacing backwards and forwards. The lynx enclosure seemed far to small. The wolf was kept alone thought they lived in packs? Even saw a red squirrel pacing. Half the enclosures were empty most of the animals looked depressed. Cafe ...

We went to see the rescued Eurasian Brown Bear's for a VIP experience which we were impressed with. The bears are well looked after and food is distributed around the enclosure to stimulate the bears. This was a 5 star experience.

Walking around the rest of the park however I found some of the en...

Overall an enjoyable visit, we saw nearly all of the animals, and the staff we very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the animals. I felt some enclosures would have benefitted from being larger, but the information and signage was excellent. The cafe area and gift shop and picnic area could ...

Virtually all the enclosures were empty, the overall impression was quite depressing and filthy. The pathways were very muddy with areas of broken and degrading tarmac, much like the potholed car park. The facilities too left much to ge More

This is a wonderful place for the family. The keepers are all very knowledgeable and happy to answer even the strangest questions. They do invaluable work for british wildlife, have a fantastic collection of obviously well looked after animals in well thought out enclosures FOR THE ANIMALS. None of ...

Could quite easily spend the whole day here. All of the animals seem well cared for, apart from one or two who look stressed but it could be mating behaviour according to the signs on display. Would highly recommend it for a couple or a small family. We've been twice now at 2 and 3pm until it closed...

My wife arranged for the wolf experience where we were able to get up close and also feed them. It was amazing. Our keepers, Maggie and a young man (sorry we can"t remember his name), were so informative and were happy to answer all our questions. Their enthusiasm was captivating. The whole place wa...

Had a very enjoyable day yesterday. It was wonderful to see the rescued bears in their large enclosure which had everything they could want. I would say though that it was sad to see the lone wolf pacing up and down all the time and we thought the enclosure for the Lynx was quite small for them.

On arrival at the park, it didn't look like it was up to much but we attended a couple of the talks which were really informative and as we wandered round we were more impressed. There are lots of animals there despite the park not seeming More

It was a 3 hour drive each way to visit Wildwood from our home near Portsmouth, but well worth it. The Bears were the highlight for me, but all of the other animals and the park itself also made for a brilliant day. Lovely woods with paths and trails taking you past Wolves, Linx, Beavers and loads o...

Lovely day out with an interesting variety of animals, different to your typical zoo and plenty of well written interpretation panels. We particularly enjoyed seeing the bison, elk and brown bears and the kids loved the high rope bridge across the bear enclosure. As with all these places there is un...

We mainly wandered around the peaceful woodland sanctuary. One of the enclosures was being built/expanded while we were there. This demonstrated the number...

Amazing experience. I and my partner did the bear experience and it was a once in a life time opportunity, I cannot recommend it enough and was blown away by the whole park. What these folks did for those bears is nothing short or a miracle

Another fantastic and enjoyable visit. Social distancing and cleaning stations around to keep you safe. The Bears were all out and performing for visitors. We're members so we visit lots. Donated to fundraising for red squirrel enclosure which burnt down and the relocation of the bear cubs.
