I visited with my partner & my 8 & 7 year old daughters. As arrival times have to be pre-booked, this ensures that it is not busy. Face masks need to be worn in the entrance & hand sanitiser is available. A one way system has been put in place to ensure social distancing can be maintained.
We had lots of fun looking at the reptiles, fish & nocturnal animals. New lizards have arrived during lockdown which we were excited to see. The girls always enjoy watching the terrapins swimming & sunbathing on the rocks. We loved seeing the armadillos & chinchilla’s too.
We loved going to see the meerkats as soon as we got outside, as well as the lemurs, monkeys, racoon dogs, porcupines, goats, giant tortoises, alpacas & birds just to name a few! The tiny monkeys were our favourites & are not to be missed. All of the animals are happy in their spacious enclosures & are clearly well looked after in the wildlife park. They all seem to enjoy eating their fresh fruit & vegetables & seem to enjoy having the visitors back.
Seven letters are hidden around the wildlife park to found. These spell out a mystery word when unscrambled. If you can work out the mystery word, children can choose a sticker on leaving the wildlife park.
The gift shop is open & is situated in the entrance to the wildlife park.
The cafe is currently open for takeaway food & drinks. This is located in a separate building accessible from the car park.
Picnic tables & benches are situated around the wildlife park & in the playground. There are plenty of picnic tables & so it is never difficult to find one.
These are currently not available due to covid restrictions.
Opening times are 10am-5pm but tickets must be pre-booked on the website with an arrival time. Once you are in the wildlife park, you can stay there for as long as you like.
The wildlife park is open on weekends, during school holidays & on bank holidays.

As we love Askham Bryan wildlife park, we have a season ticket which offers great value for money. I would highly recommenced a visit if you haven’t been!
The toilet facilities are open as usual. They are situated in the entrance to the wildlife park.
