Open since 1793, this park is located in Bewdley in Worcestershire. Easily accessible by road and rail from Birmingham, this enthralling park is a drive-through safari that is home to about 600 animals and has an engaging adventure theme park. It is indeed a fascinating experience to drive through the park and see animals such as lion, tiger, giraffe and elephant at close quarters. The park boasts of the largest pride of white lions, the largest pod of common hippopotamus and the largest mob of meerkats, among others.

Besides, there are various discovery trails for reptiles and sea lions, among others. The sea lion theatre that showcases and displays the mammal’s intelligence is truly fabulous. The African village and the aquarium are other highlights of the park. Do not forget to take Safari Express Railway which is a narrow gauge railway that provides a picturesque ride through the amusement park. The wide range of amusement fun and thrill rides at the amusement park make the place perfect for a family outing. The 100-acre park can be covered either in your own car or via one of the guided minibus tours. The Kidderminster, Comberton Hill, is the closest station to the park.
