Askham Bryan Wildlife and Conservation Park is reopening this weekend, welcoming visitors just in time for February half-term.
During the Winter pause, the Park underwent renovations of their Wildlife Corridor and introduced a variety of exciting new additions, including new enclosures and species.
This February half-term sees the return of ‘Kids Go Wild, Kids Go FREE’: from Saturday 14 February to Sunday 22 February, all children under 16 can enjoy free entry into the Park.
Families can enjoy trails, talks, crafts and plenty of opportunities to explore.
Lauren Lane, animal sciences, conservation and associated enterprises manager, said: “I’m so excited for the public to get to see what we’ve all been working on these past few months. Our season ticket holders got the chance to have a sneak peek last weekend, so I’m really looking forward to opening it up wider.
“The team have also worked really hard getting everything ready, it’s all been so rewarding.”
Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park opened to visitors in 2017, and the wildlife park serves as a hub for the local community – welcoming 20,000 visitors a year as well as hosting schools, young people and other local community groups for tours, talks and workshops.
The park is home to over 100 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates – many of which are threatened.
