    Very enjoyable zoo
    A lovely zoo with well kept animals. Nice that some parrots are allowed to fly free outside. The walk through aviary is great fun where the birds land on you especially if you are holding millet. Loved giving Cecil the tapir a scratch and seeing how they have designed a special enclosure for Nigel the puma who has sight problems. The 2 white lion brothers and all the tigers looked very well with plenty of space to roam around in. The cafeteria is good too with small reptiles and bugs to watch while you eat.

    Fantastic day to remember
    What a fantastic place. Amazing to be able to see the animals up close, especially the lions, tigers and Nigel. What the park has done for Nigel especially, is inspirational. Loved being able to feed the birds. Entertained by the talking ones. 😍 it’s deceiving from the outside just how big the park is.

    Needs some improvement
    This is a nice wildlife park but not one we’ll be rushing back to… We went at half-term so expected it to be busy but did not expect to queue for 25 mins just to get in and then another 20 mins to go to the loo! They need to speed up the entrance process and have more than one set of toilets for the whole park!!! The ladies only has three cubicles which is just not enough. Glad we got half price tickets as we would have felt hard done by if we had paid full price.

    Treat for the Grandchildren
    We spent a few hours at the Wildlife Park with our Grandchildren. They really enjoyed there time with the animals, especially in the walkthrough aviary where the birds came and perched on their shoulders. We will return if we are in the area again, and will happily recommend to friends.

    Wonderful family day out
    Really enjoyed our family day out, such a good wildlife park, the lay out is amazing helps you to ensure you see every animal, the feed you can but to feed the animals I loved that, feeding the parrots and meerkats! On our walk round it was very quiet we got almost a private show off Nigel the puma who came out and showed off in front of us! The tiger was out and just walking in front of us it was lovely too see, really enjoyed it and I’d recommend it too all families

    Wow.... what can I say. What a hidden gem this place is. We've seen it advertised but never been until today. This place is amazing. I'll start with the parrot's. I'm not a fan of seeing bird's in cages but I understand why they are. Every animal here has been rescued or donated. They are clearly very well looked after and nursed back to health if need be. Hearing the parrot's speak is unreal... Whilst walking by one on particular he/she shouted " Hello, are you alright" to us... unreal 😊 the lions are fantastic and I've honestly never been so close to one. All the animals and birds are brilliant. Definitely worth the trip and we'll definitely be back.

    The best
    Heard this wildlife park advertised and decided to visit and i’m so glad we did. There are so many parrots and birds, more than i’ve ever seen before. You have the option to buy bags of peanuts which you can hand feed to the parrots. There’s a few free flying macaws which were so friendly and loved the peanuts too. There is a large walk in aviary full of parrots which will land on you especially if they see you have bags of nuts. There’s also a smaller bird aviary with different types of cockatiels and budgies. You can also buy a bag of dried mill worms to feed to the meerkats. It’s such a great wildlife park and isn’t overcrowded during the week which was great for us. Can easily spend a large portion of the day here 🦜 Also the love birds are the cutest little things

    Take your time
    A great day out. My tip is to get some bird feed (peanuts @£1.50 a bag) from the shop before you start to wander round as then you can have some great interactions with the parrots. Take your time to read the info, and feed the parrots before you move on to the other animals. It’s nicely spread out and has plenty to see and do, it’s a wildlife park rather than a massive zoo, but there are plenty of animals to see and enjoy, just don’t rush through them eager to get to the next as your day will be over quickly.

    Well worth a visit
    Good value for money, lots of things to see, loved the fact you could feed the animals, parrots and animals seemed to be very well cared for. Café looked a bit closed at time of our visit. But didn’t ruin our experience. All staff encountered were friendly and helpful. Well worth a visit.

    Not a bad little park. Needs customer service improvement.
    I would love to give this an excellent, however the start of the park is a let down. The toilets inside the park are out of use. No one told you you have to use the toilets in the cafe. Used the radar key to at least try go to the toilet and there was no light in there or toilet paper, only a toilet that was at least flushable. The cafe served half decent food. Out of the cheese burger and chips, the chips are the only item to get full marks for tastiness. There was zero condiments available. The burger bun wasn’t even toasted. The meat and cheese itself are edible. You won’t find the use of hand sanitiser here, all the hand sanitizer stations are out, especially in the important places such as the Cafe and toilets! I thought we were big on hygiene now? Obviously not here. The swearing parrots are the highlight of the park. Hearing them curse is funny as anything. Would I go back? Yes!

Just back from this park, The rescued animals seem really well looked after by caring people. Myself and wife pushed the boat out and did the Tiger experience. Close encounters and feeding 3 of the Tigers behind the scenes a once in a lifetime for both of us. It was a cold and frosty morning so we didnt see all that there is to offer, but make no mistake we will return again.

What a brilliant experience! We visited on Friday, with a disabled child in a wheelchair and two teenagers. We all had the best day ever. We have been to many wildlife/animal facilities around the country and this is by far the most enjoyable.

Everyone said without a doubt, it was star best day of the holiday and we cannot wait to visit again next year.

The whole place was lovely, the staff were fabulous and the animals seemed so well cared for.

All completely accessible for the wheelchair too

Highly, highly recommended

Visited during school holidays, children had a great time feeding the birds and having them land on their arms. All animals looked well care for and happy which is always a plus point when visiting this type of attraction, Good cafe with nice food choice and good value. would definitely recommend visiting if in the area.

Lincolnshire Wildlife Park looks very unassuming from the outside but the inside is an absolute wonder. The care and dedication to the animals really shines through in this park. You have the option to purchase some feed for the birds & meerkats and I really recommend it! There was a great variety of animals and birds, so much to see and do even in wet weather (or very, very wet weather!). We spent over three hours here on a wet November day, all the kids and adults enjoyed it, well worth the money! The food from the cafe was delicious and well priced and the staff were absolutely lovely.

This is always a great day out for all the family , there is always something new to see , animals well looked after and seem happy enough
The only thing I think needs work is the quality of the food in the onsite cafe for the price it really does taste cheap but I'm there more for the animal hence why the score is still at the max

Situated around 10 miles outside Skegness this is a small wildlife park which mainly consists of exotic bird displays plus some lions, tigers, meerkats and a puma and tapir. Family ticket costs £45. Plenty of places to eat a picnic plus there is a cafe and gift shop on site. As we visited out of season there was lots of places closed and empty exhibits - probably a better experience when the weather is better. Two lions are amazing and you can get up nice and close. We spent less than two hours there but had a nice time.

We had never heard of this place until we found it on Planet Radio offers and so glad we did, I feel like we found a hidden gem. We visited on a weekend and the park was fairly quiet. We bought peanuts, bird food and meerkat food from the cafe as we entered the park. We enjoyed feeding the parrots so much we ended up buying another 2 packs of peanuts. It was a fab experience, there were so many parrots to feed and they were very entertaining talking.

We have been to Yorkshire wildlife park loads as it is local to us, but this place was just as good if not better! It was also on a much smaller scale so not loads of walking for the kids which they were gappy about. There was a lovely walk through with small birds that were coming and landing on us whilst we fed them. We got really close to thelions and got a good close up pf the tigers better than we'd seen in any other animal park. I would recommend this place if your after a day trip kids or adults, its only 20 minutes from Skegness. There was also a lovely cafe at the entrance which served a variety of food and seemed reasonably priced.

I'm sure we will be back again!

This is a well cared for park, that is definitely worth a visit. All the animals are rescue animals which makes it all the more worthwhile to help fund.

We visited whilst stopping nearby. All the staff were friendly and helpful.
The park is well set out with an easy to follow path. The walk though enclosures were great and loved feeding the parrots and other birds.
The enclosures for the big cats looked really good, with lots of enrichment for the animals.
All in all, we had a great visit and spent a good couple of hours there.
Highly recommend.
