## About

The Lake District Wildlife Park is home to over 100 animals. From participating in EEP breeding programmes for Red Pandas to housing endangered Lemurs and Gibbons, the Park has conservation at its heart. See Northern Eurasian Lynx, a big cat once native to Cumbria's fells. Book an animal experience and meet the Meerkats, Ring Tailed Lemurs and Tapir or book a farm animal experience to get up close with Herdwick Sheep, Zebu and Alpacas. Alternatively during a Bird of Prey experience you will learn how to fly and recall a bird, whilst learning all about their natural behaviour. Keeper talks and encounters run hourly every day with an educational reptile talk, fun and interesting Lemur, Scottish Wildcat and Red Panda Talks or watch an exhilarating Bird of Prey flying demonstration. There is an indoor soft play and an outdoor play area. The on-site café serves home-cooked wholesome food or you can enjoy a hot or cold drink and a snack.
