Amazing Wildlife

With enclosures set in twenty five acres of ancient woodland, and activities dedicated to conservation and education, there’s plenty to see and do at the New Forest Wildlife Park, where you might find otters, wolves, owls, wildcats, lynx, wallaby, wild boars and foxes.

Walk the tree-lined trails and watch the cheeky Asian short-clawed otters at play, or make friends with the free-roaming fallow, roe and sika deer who may follow you around.

Wildlife Trail

On your trail look out for the Scottish wildcats, ferrets, lynx, wild boar, wallabies, foxes, pine martens, polecats and harvest mice, and don’t miss the Tropical Butterfly House, open from Easter to end September, where you can watch colourful butterflies emerge from their pupae.

Lynx at the New Forest Wildlife Park

Lynx

See Morris the red deer stag stand proud among his many hinds, or watch the wary wolves grab their dinner at feeding time. Our three European bison, part of a captive breeding programme for endangered species, form an impressive sight, as do the endangered giant otters, which can measure up to 1.8 metres.

Two adventure playgrounds

Children and grown-ups will adore the swings, zip wires, log jumbles and climbing nests in our two amazing Go Wild! adventure playgrounds, and there’s a tearoom and gift shop too.
