As featured on BBC Animal Park and widely regarded as one of the best loved tourist destinations in the UK, Longleat offers a wealth of exciting attractions and events for visitors of all ages!
Get close to the animals in the UK’s first Safari Park… see how you measure up to a giraffe, watch out for the zebras crossing, wander amongst the wallabies in Wallaby Wood and be enthralled by the majestic lions, tigers, rhino and more! Or climb aboard the Safari Boats for a sea lion escorted cruise, get lost in the Longleat Hedge Maze, enjoy a fun packed ride on the Longleat Railway, marvel at the treasures and heirlooms of Longleat House or let the kids let off steam in the Adventure Castle and so much more… with 11 attractions to explore, your day at Longleat will never be long enough!
But that’s not all! Longleat’s newest attraction ‘Animal Adventure’ allows visitors to assist in keeper led activity, which include many exciting health and welfare tasks from grooming guinea pigs, weighing and measuring tortoises to monitoring and recording animal behaviours. And at the end of an interactive experience, you will have the opportunity to purchase a ‘Ranger Diploma’ to prove to friends and family what you have achieved!
The Longleat Passport Ticket offers entry into all of the Longleat attractions but you don’t need to complete it in one visit! Split your visit over a weekend or even over several… each attraction can be visited once only but you can come back at any time before the end of the season (31st October 2010) to see those attractions previously missed PLUS the grounds and gardens can be visited as often as you like!
