For a great day out for all the family, the Highland Wildlife Park is a unique safari-style park located in a spectacular setting near Kincraig, just 7 miles south of Aviemore, within the Cairngorms National Park.

The Park is run by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland who also own Edinburgh Zoo and has native Scottish wildlife as well as endangered species of the world's mountain and tundra regions.

Drive through the Main Reserve looking out for herds of European bison, red deer, yaks, Tibetan wild ass, reindeer and one of the world's rarest mammals, the Przewalski horse. You can then explore the rest of the Park on foot to discover snow monkeys, red pandas, wolves, wildcats, lynx, Amur tigers and Mercedes and Walker our polar bears.

Each day, visitors can join feeding talks throughout the walkround area and take the opportunity to find out more about our animals from our expert keepers. Afterwards, visit Antlers café in the Visitor Centre - offering a range of hot and cold dishes and snacks, enjoy the spectacular views over the snow monkey enclosure to the Spey valley beyond. Our Wildthings giftshop is also located in the Visitor Centre and stocks a selection of gifts and souvenirs that reflect the ethos and character of the Highland Wildlife Park and the surrounding Highlands of Scotland.
