Lincolnshire Wildlife Park

Lincolnshire Wildlife Park offers a unique and engaging day out in the heart of the countryside, combining a wildlife park with one of the UK’s largest animal sanctuaries. Known for its famous swearing parrots and impressive collection of big cats, the park is home to a wide range of animals including meerkats, lemurs, tigers, lions, reptiles, and over 1,000 parrots.

Visitors can explore the park at their own pace using the park map, enjoying daily animal talks and feeding sessions throughout the day. Popular highlights include the Bengal tiger talk, black leopard and white lion talks, as well as interactive feeding opportunities with birds and meerkats. For a more immersive experience, a variety of animal encounters are available, giving visitors the chance to get closer to species such as tigers, lemurs, wallabies, and tortoises.

Families will find plenty to keep children entertained, including a large outdoor play area with climbing frames and natural play equipment located near the Rainforest Diner. Walkthrough aviaries are a standout feature of the park, allowing visitors to interact with free-flying parrots in a safe and engaging environment.

From an accessibility perspective, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park is designed to be fully accessible for a wide range of visitors. The site offers disabled parking spaces, ramp access, and step-free routes throughout, making it suitable for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Low-level viewing points are available across the park, ensuring that animal enclosures can be enjoyed from a seated position.

Manual wheelchairs are available to hire on-site for a small fee, providing additional support for visitors who may need assistance during their visit. The park also features a fully equipped Changing Places facility, including an adult changing bench, hoist, and space for carers, making it suitable for visitors with more complex needs.

Accessible toilets are available throughout the park, along with baby changing facilities. The Rainforest Diner provides indoor and outdoor seating, offering a comfortable space to relax and enjoy food and drinks during your visit.

Only highly trained assistance dogs are permitted within the park, and visitors are advised to contact the park in advance to discuss access requirements due to the potential impact on resident animals.

Visitors should be aware that the park is home to a large number of parrots, which can create a noisy environment in certain areas. This may be challenging for those with sound sensitivities, particularly during busy periods or live events. However, quieter areas such as the Ivanvale Nature Reserve offer a more peaceful space to relax and enjoy nature.

Additional facilities include a gift shop, animal feeding experiences, a nature reserve with walking routes, and the Wild4Learning Hub, which supports conservation fundraising activities.

With its mix of animal encounters, interactive experiences, and strong accessibility features, Lincolnshire Wildlife Park is a great option for families looking for a mobility friendly and inclusive day out in Lincolnshire.
