Wingham Wildlife Park is home to the widest variety of animals in Kent, and we are continually expanding. To help our visitors to enjoy our animals as much as possible, and get the most out of their visit, we offer a host of informative and educational animal talks, as well as the opportunity to view the animals in their natural habitat during their feed times.
One of the biggest draws for our visitors is our hands-on approach. Our talks and animal displays take place throughout term time and school holidays. They can be found within the park at no extra cost; all talks and feed times are included in your ticket price.
Talks and feed times include some of the park’s most popular creatures, both big and small, from tiger feeding to otter training and penguin feeding. Talk times and feeds will vary according to season. Please see the list below for a round-up of our talks and displays.
