REVIEWS


"South Lakes Wild Animal Park is unique open air wild animal park and set in a fantastic location at the edge of the Lake District National Park. It was the Lake District's Official Top Visitor Attraction for 2005 and is a world specialist for the conservaton of the Sumatran Tiger which can be seen amazingly in a wild Lakeland setting. As well as the famous tigers it features all the animals you expect at a wild animal park from rhinos to lemurs, marmosets and monkeys along with a troop of Baboons and Giraffes. Only been open a few years but has become really popular."

"What an amazing day at South Lakes Wild Animal Park! I didn't know the place existed until, on a drive out with my 24 year-old daughter, she said "Dad - I've just seen a giraffe on that hillside!" We investigated, and found the South Lakes Wild Animal Park. Lions were basking in the sun, tigers quietly demolishing prey, emus wandering about, lemurs of many varieties leaping from fence to branch, giraffes as high as telephone poles, and rhinos the size of a large garden shed - and many times as solid. The staff, of which there are many all over the park, were extremely friendly and informative. There is a pleasant tea shop, and extremely well-stocked souvenir shop. A miniature railway takes kiddies through the centre of the park, and of course dad is on board purely to look after junior (he says). There are snakes, and quite a lots of bats, there are penguins doing aquatic ballet in the pool right under your nose, numerous birds (the Australian black swan is lovely), there are bears, and apes of many kinds - in other words, a Noah's Ark of wonderful wildlife. A must-see place, and very accessible - follow the A590 towards Barrow, and turn left at the roundabout to Dalton-in-Furness, follow the signs through the village and back over the A590, to the park.
