About Wingham Wildlife Park
Wingham Wildlife Park is a modest zoo set in open countryside just outside the village of Wingham. The park houses a range of animals, including big cats, primates, reptiles, and domestic farm animals, spread across landscaped grounds. It is primarily aimed at families with children and offers the chance to see wildlife at close quarters in a small, manageable space.
The park layout allows you to walk around enclosures and viewing areas at your own pace. There are regular demonstrations and feeding times throughout the day, which engage visitors and provide information about the animals. The farm section appeals particularly to younger children who may want to handle or feed smaller animals. On warmer months the park is busier, especially during school holidays, but it remains a relatively intimate setting compared to larger zoos.
The park is situated on the route between Canterbury and Sandwich, making it a convenient family stop during a longer journey or day out. It works best for visitors with children under 12, though anyone interested in wildlife may find it worthwhile. The countryside setting and proximity to walking routes in the area mean it can be combined with other activities.
