Welcome to Wildwood Kent
Welcome to Wildwood, where you can come nose-to-nose with British Wildlife past and present.
Wildwood near Canterbury is a great day out for all ages where you can see amazing British wildlife from past and present. Set in 40 acres of ancient woodland, Wildwood holds a stunning collection of over 200 British animals in natural enclosures.
See bears, wolves, otters, foxes, deer, badgers, owls, wild horses, lynx, beavers, wild cats, bison, squirrels, wild boar, reindeer and many more as you walk around the twisting trails through an ancient British woodland.
Current Opening Hours
10:00am to 4:00pm with last entry at 3:00pm
Please note that certain areas of the park will start closing down from last entry time.
Wildwood No Smoking Policy
Wildwood’s vision of bringing the joy of British wildlife to the public starts with the health and safety of the animals in our care, our visitors and staff. In order to provide a healthy and safe environment for all, smoking and vaping will no longer be permitted anywhere within the park. We are removing all the permitted smoking areas in the park that have been used in the past.
Please be aware that if you wish to leave the park to smoke outside of the grounds, you will be required to have your hand stamped at our shop for re-entry.
We respectfully ask that you take note of the change to this policy ahead of your visit to Wildwood.
