Situated in North Cumbria, Trotters World of Animals nestles in the shadow of Skiddaw Mountain on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, near to the junction of the A66 and A595 is a must-visit place for all ages. There are hundreds of animals from all corners of the world ranging from the critically endangered to more traditional favourites.

There's certainly plenty to see, but this wildlife park offers so much more than that. As well as it's collection of furries and featheries whose antics spellbind children of all ages, it educates, it practices sound conservation methods and it provides stimulating entertainment aimed at family members of every age.

Meet some of our reptile friends at daily presentations by our expert reptile handler when you can safely handle snakes and lizards both large and small.

Imagine the thrill of having a hawk, eagle or owl fly close by. Spectacular flying displays at our Birds of Prey Centre are your chance to experience just that.

All year round the animals need feeding and exercising - they actually miss the summer crowds - so why not come and say hello to your favourite one winter weekend? A full programme of indoor activities continues during our winter season and at Christmas the Park takes on a festive theme with our live pod cast from Santa.
