This year, we are very proud to have a brand new penguin exhibit that
is the first of it's kind in the UK. It features an amazing underwater
viewing area that is housed in a cave and also features a raised walkway
that allows wonderful views over the entire exhibit. We are also pleased
to unveil our fantastic new riverhog area and have many new exhibits planned
to open in the next few years including the largest river aviary in the
UK.
Our new gift shop and entrance building is now open! The shop is situated
in a converted barn and has various fish tanks entwined into the floor
and walls. It provides a fantastic welcome to visitors and includes huge
windows allowing wonderful views of the park and entrance waterfall. The
