Remember the rules of the Park
Animals need peace and quiet
Move slowly towards the animals. Do not scream or make sudden movements to frighten them away.
Don’t trespass on their territory
Don’t try to approach the animals, climb over the fences or leave the pathways.
Picnic lunch
Picnic only in designated areas.
Do not feed the animals or throw anything in enclosures.
Our animals all have strict diets to ensure their well-being. Do not risk making them ill by giving them “treats”.
Keep the park clean and tidy
Trash containers are available in the Park.
