Small enclosures, hold some animals that just should never be in captivity, such as Elephants and Tigers. They are just unhappy and its just impossible to give them what they would have in the wild. Other than that, Woburn do alot for conservation and the smaller animals did appear happy. More

Thoroughly enjoyed all there was to do. Did find a lack of signs around the walking areas made getting to timed events a bit of a challenge. Found the staff to be very friendly and knowledgable about the animalst. Great to be able to driver round as often as you want as you get the chance to see the animals... More

Been here several times and loved it each time. Can go round as many times as you like. Can be pricy but always managed to find a voucher to cut the price. Facilities excellent and clean. Something for everyone. It's entertaining as well as educational. Highly recommend for a day out. Easy to get fantastic photos of the animals. Well... More

Would highly recommend this to any photographers (whatever skill level) to get close up and personal to the animals. The rangers take you safely close up to where the animals are and you will be rewarded with unforgettable images. If you are lucky enough to get Bob the ranger he will fill you in with amazing facts to learn about... More

Great to go back to Woburn and experience the safari park, saw some great action this time around. The Lions being herded to one spot and the Bears searching for food then wondering between the vehicles. It was a cold day but a venture onto the Swans is a must. The facilities are what they are, it's not Disney and... More

Our grandson has special needs so we arranged a special tour for him and one of his friends and it was fantastic. They were so helpful in taking things slowly and letting him feed the girraff through the window of the land rover . never to be forgotten More

Feels like driving through Africa rather than the middle of Bedfordshire. Animals are so close you could touch them if you had your windows down. Loved the monkeys climbing on the car More

5 of us went here for my 14th birthday as we heard it was really good! The course itself was good but it did get a little boring clipping yourself on and off to trees which you do alot. We got to the 4th stage (there are 6 stages) and a helper came up to my dad and told him... More
