Where else can you get nose to nose with nature and have the most memorable fun-finding-out day out you can imagine?

With over one hundred different animal species in naturalistic environments, award winning Drusillas Park has plenty to enthral everyone from the youngest to the oldest visitor. Animals include the popular meerkats where children can climb inside a dome to get really close, as well as penguins, otters, beavers, gibbons, a range of monkeys and a walk-through bat enclosure to name but a few. Lemurland allows visitors to get nose to nose with a friendly group of lemurs and you can watch many of the animals being fed at the Keeper Talks that run throughout the day, such as the

penguins at 11.30am and 4pm daily.

However, animals are only half the experience. The brilliant play areas including Go Wild! and Go Bananas! have masses of climbing, sliding, jumping and swinging fun thoughtfully separated for different age groups. Indoors there is Amazon Adventure, a state-of-the-art soft play complex plus the Thomas & FriendsTM train offers unlimited rides around the Park all year round.

The interactive maze, Eden's Eye, takes visitors on an adventure style quest through a host of different worlds. Entering through the ancient temple ruins there are surprises around every corner as explorers go in search of the legendary treasure hidden deep within a secret garden.

In addition to all this there is the Zoolympics Challenge, the Animal Spotter Book and Stamping Trail, Jungle Adventure Golf, Panning for Gold, Penguin Plunge, Vertical Limit, the Discovery Centre, Wacky Workshop, Explorers Restaurant, Oasis Café, five shops plus an interesting and varied event diary which runs throughout the year.
