Things to do at Ark Wildlife and Dinosaur Park

The wildlife park is unusual in that the range of animals, allows you to see many that you will probably have never seen before. It is a rescue sanctuary for exotic animals, so visiting The Ark helps to support these animals and the work they do to rescue them.

Indoors there is a tropical and reptile house plus meerkats and a barn with a few animals. There is also an all-weather activity play area with Dino Racers which are battery-powered children’s quad bikes. Plus Trash Panda Towers’ soft play area which is suitable for 9 yrs and under with a toddler area for those under 5.

Other animals include lemurs, macaque monkeys, foxes, coatis, arctic fox, lynx and more. Lemur Lake is Lincolnshire’s first and only primate island and home to their group of rescued ring-tailed lemurs, meet our group of Rhesus Macaques at Macaque Manor.

There is a large play park outdoors plus a dinosaur area with life-like models some of which have moving and roaring animatronics. Kids (3-15 yrs) can go on the hunt for their stamp stations located across the park, collect all six stamps and head to reception to claim your free, enamel dinosaur pin.

They even have an escape room entitled “Defeat the Poachers” (additional cost). They run daily animal encounter shows and often walk around the park with different animals, for you to meet. More personal animal encounters can be booked such as meerkats at £50 pp over 10’s only or reptile encounters (same price and age range) plus many more.
