Woburn Safari park Zoo in Bedford, Woburn

Reviews

   The safari drive through was amazing, we saw so much, the time of year we went it was very quiet. The adjoining zoo area wasn't as good this time if year due to the site shutting areas down for the winter but this was to be expected. I completed on of the Lion Experiences and the member of staff was brilliant and informative, clearly very passionate about what they do. Would highly recommend.

   Went to do a morning feed experience and was blown away, park was shut so it was just us, the lovely animals and the amazing keepers. Got to feed some beautiful animals, met the most amazing huge lions, who knew they were that big? And Bob was so passionate and knowledgeable, blew any other trip to a zoo out the water.

   We have been to Woburn many times over the years, and it’s always enjoyable. The weather was excellent. Most of the animals were out and about when we visited this time. The grounds looked well kept. We didn’t see many monkeys this time, and am not sure why they were “hiding” from us. We like to poke around the shop and have an ice cream. It’s was a great day. Thanks for a good experience. I would recommend it.

   We went to Woburn and had a fantastic time. We had a nice slow drive around the Safari, seeing all of the animals. Pretty much all of the animals were out and about which was great to see. The African Lions were fantastic and one walked right by our car. The kids loved it. You can bypass the safari and drive straight to the carpark and start the walking safari if you prefer. Parking was very easy and there is an overflow carpark for when it gets really busy. I did find navigating the safari walk a little tricky as there are a lot of branching paths to the various enclosures but it's probably because I'm used to other Zoos. Be prepared for a bit of hill climbing here and there as some of the enclosures are set down the hill but there are steps and slopes for buggy and wheelchair access. There are loads of eateries and cafés, we went to the one in the soft play. Food Prices were not too bad but could get very expensive very quickly. We had a great time, the Park was very clean and tidy, the staff were friendly and approachable. If you are visiting with family members needing the disabled toilets, then bring your radar key as I had to keep asking in the gift shop!

   Awesome experience to see the animals walk freely while you watch from a locked car with closed windows. Not open to pedestrians and you need own car (hard top of you want to see all the animals and carnivores). You can spend the whole day here, they have gift shops, cafes and a cafeteria (though the portions are small for the pricing). Can do as many loops as you wish and we saw many animals but loved the monkeys best as they jump up on your stationary car.

   Great place for the family. Drive through Safari with option to avoid (including just monkey enclosure, to protect the car!) and also able go round multiple times. My advice, if getting there early, is to avoid the drive though Safari at the beginning and go straight to the zoo. It will be virtually empty and then you can choose to drive round any time of the day, hopefully when it's quieter. We decided to have lunch in car going round the safari (just don't feed the animals). There's plenty of space for picnics however there was not much shade. There's a train that goes around the park (free) and also pedalo boats on a lake (small charge for this though). A bit on the expensive side however relatively good value for money. Would highly recommend

   Despite lockdown they are trying hard to make a good day out. Not enough toilets open, especially with young children. Excellent staff.

   Great walk outdoors with lots to see. Great for all ages but little legs may tire quickly with the hills and uneven ground. Bring a sun hat and a picnic and it will make a fun day out.
