We absolutely loved the drive thru safari. The animals look calm and happy as they stroll around, extremely close to your car. Excellent experience. The after you park your car exhibits were mostly enjoyable, sweet animals but please someone needs to clean the animals sleep areas, inside boxes and such. The Otter sleep area was disgraceful and there were babies. Looks like it hadn't been cleaned out in a month. No way AZA has been there in a while. Otherwise a very nice day. read more

It is great. You need to book the ticket online before your trip, it is very smooth to get in the park. Not very big but a lot to see. we stayed about 2 hour. It is a special experience to see the wildlife. read more

This is an interesting trip. We ended up here by accident as we were looking for another place and ended up here instead. It looked interesting and so we stayed! We were a bit scared since there was nothing keeping the animals from our car and we saw some of the monkeys pull parts off the cars in front of us. A lion sat in front of our car for about 20 minutes before he would move and the cars behind us started honking! Not a good thing to do! They had just had a baby giraffe and we were able to see the adorable baby when we went by. The walkabout was interesting and we got to see some wallabies and monkeys there. It was an interesting day trip but I can't see coming back. read more

A very nice day out, with plenty to do and see. We had a nice trip with some friend to this Safari Park. I enjoyed the driving side (the real Safari) than the other walking bit. We were in coach so the park offered us a tour guide who made the ride very informative and worthwhile. the walking side of the par is nice an d peaceful, and outstandingly clean. Good cafes and restaurants (compare to such places it is very good). Great family attraction and a very family friendly atmosphere ... or I guess the weather was perfect for everyone to be NICE :D The place need around one hour or so for the car ride, and another 2-3 hours for the walking side. read more

A superb family day out! We went to the Woburn Safari Park this bank holiday weekend and had such a great time. The biggest attraction is the road safari. Basically you just drive through in your car (windows tightly shut most of the time!), while rhinos, lions, bears, tigers etc. roam freely around you. They seem quite unconcerned by the vehicles and even cross the road between cars. We got lots of lovely photographs there, and it was nice to see those huge animals at such close range. The monkeys were great, there's something so terribly entertaining about seeing them ripping off other people's car ariels. There is a bypass if you wish to avoid them. You can repeat the road safari any number of times throughout your day. There is a foot safari too, with attractions like Land of the Lemurs, Australian Walkabout etc., with smaller animals to look at. There is a large lake where you can take a swan-shaped boat out and also a train that takes you around the park (I'd give the latter a miss, you only see a few things that you passed on the road safari anyway). There is a large picnic area which is more like a grassy car park as everyone parks and eats all over (they are not separated). Lots of people were having picnics because though there is lots to eat there it's at the usual extortionate prices these places charge. We found that there was too much to see and do in one day, we actually did it over 1 1/2 days and it still wasn't enough. I suppose it was because we took our time over the picnic and relaxing after it etc. but who wants to rush anyway? So I suggest that you plan your day and decide what you absolutely must see/do and finish those first. There are plenty of children's play areas, both indoor and outdoor, so even the youngest kids have something here. The Woburn Safari Park is one of the best family attractions I have been to in the UK. read more

This is nice place for a day out with the kids. It's not my favourite though. When we went once, the cashpoint was broken and they couldnt take cards! so that cut our day short, as we couldnt eat!! Def suggest take a bit of cash, incase. I didnt think the safari bit was that great as half the animals were really far away. Our little struggled to see much. On the good side , the other part , the enclosures bit was good, it was a nice walk round. And there are swan boats on a little lake too. Lovely on a nice day ;o) Worth a go. We use our tesco deals vouchers to get in, if you want to save a bit of dosh x read more

This place is really nice to take young children - they have lots of different things to do. The main thing here is the safari, you drive around the park on a track through all the animals - all the animals are loose so you do have the possibility of them coming right up to the car! The best thing is the monkey enclosure (you do have the oppurtunity to bypass it), the monkeys jump all over the car and it's great fun! Once the safari drive is finished, you can go to the park, there is a lake with pedal controlled swans, an indoor play centre and a large avary where you can feed the birds. Downside - the cost, it does cost a fortune! read more

We've been here a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it each and every time. You start off with a drive around the safari park and through the monkey enclosure. Very exciting to see the animals so close, especially the black bears and wolfs together! There's white tigers, elephants, rhino, lions, monkeys, deers, zebra etc (a very african flavour baring the wolfs, bears and tigers!) After the safari you park up and you can have a lovely picnic or purchase food and the restuarant, there's a gift shop, swan lake and loads of shows from reptiles, to feeding time, bird shows etc. There's plenty of loops to walk around and believe me you do walk so wear comfortable shoes! Also keep an eye out for the craft shows as they are brilliant for quality hand made items and good food! read more

Woburn Safari park is a really good day out, plus if you go in the colder months there are usually some good deals on tickets, but it is cheap anyway. The drive around safari has a wide range of animals to offer (including the dreaded monkeys, rhinos, elephants lions, tigers and bears) and it is really fun to see them that close up and take photos At the end of this there is a walk around safari where you can see seal shows, walabies and even feed some lorikeets, which is a great experience for everyone. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. read more

Woburn Safari Park is an excellent day out for families (or a couple as well!) There are all the usual animals you would expect. This is a drive around venue where you stay in your car to view tigers, lions, monkeys, bears, rhino etc but after the 'safari' there is a car park where there are loos, play equipment, and other animals to see. I feel that it is a pricey day out but you do get to see a lot for your money. You can also buy an 'experience' day which may be looking after the elephants. This is a fantastic day out and you really are involved with the animals. I would recommend a visit here. read more

As a family we had annual passes for Woburn last year because we live nearby. Our 4 year old loves it and it was great to just have a drive around if we had an hour or two to kill. Yes, if you do just pay to go in for the day (rather than having a pass) then you do run the risk of animals hiding away, but that's the risk you take. The leisure park is also good fun with play areas for all ages (though the sea lion show is better at Whipsnade). Final recommendation is to buy the CD which acts as your safari guide when you are driving round. read more

I can not reccomend Woburn Safari Park enough for the kids and the kids at heart! I have been going here since a child myself and i stilll look forward to going back whenever i get the chance. The price is exceptional value for money as it truly is a full day out for the whole family. Driving amongst the animals and getting to see them in much more open surroundings than a 'traditional' zoo is a great experience. My particuar favourites have to be th monkeys and loins - just make sure you remember to put your car airiel down! Once you have seen the main park there is still plenty more to see with the petting zoo, sealion shows and other displays and talks including birds of prey & elephants. This along with the minature railway & boating lake will keep you entertained for a full day without any problems..have fun. read more

We really enjoyed our visit here. We did the safari by car first and we were amazed at the animals roaming so freely and close to your car. The kids loved it. They thought it hilarious when the Ostrich kept pecking at the window and the monkeys climbed on the car. Thankfully they didn't pull at the wing mirrors or wipers, tho we saw other cars having this done and we did laugh at the cheeky monkeys! Make sure no one needs the loo like my daughter half way round lolthere;s no where to go and you can't leave the car. Some of the animals wer hard to see like the bears and some where not moving but it was a very hot day. Afterwards we parked on the large grassy area and ate our picnic. The cafe prices were extortionate as ever so that's a must if you want ti save a few pounds. We enjoyed the boat lake and the goats were great entertainment. I can't remember seeing as many animals as some people have listed in their reviews though. The play areas were good, all kids love those! It is expensive to come here, but we used our clubcard vouchers, so it took the sting out the price. Will definately return in a few years. read more

Amazing day out at Woburn Safari Park with uni. Went through the drive through and go up close and personal with loads of the animals, especially one lion! Then to complete my day I went to the elephant talk and got to see their new baby, plus stroke one of the elephants! Was one very happy student :D read more

One of the best family days out we have had in years! The price was really reasonable for one adult and three children. The road safari was brilliant - bears and rhinos right next to the car, a monkey that rode the car in front of us like a taxi. There was none of the usual 'trying to see the animal in a pen and never finding anything' as the enclosures were well organised and it felt very safe. We then went for a walk through the Australian foot safari and got to stroke wallabies. The other exhibits were well kept and it was easy to see the animals who seemed very happy with their surroundings. The highlight was a Tusk mini-experience when we were taking into the meerkat enclosure and the meerkats climbed all over us. At other parks these kind of experiences are usually very pricey - but the Tusk charity were doing mini-experiences for £20 per person. The best £60 I've spent in a very long while - the kids were beside themselves with excitement - as was I! Facilities were very good, not too expensive - chips were under £2 and the toilets were beautifully clean. I don't know why we haven't been before, but we are definitely coming back again! read more

Execellent place to visit i really enjoyed it and so did the kids the monkeys where having the time of there lifes too lol

Woburn is a great place to take the whole family. One carer gets in free with blue badge and there's plenty of good disabled facilities and access. The animals are great and we had some lovely food in the restaurant, a great day out. read more

This is a great zoo. There is a good amount of space for the animals. There is a drive round part at the beginning. You can miss it out or go later if you want. It is very good. They recommend you don't stop the car, but keep moving slowly round. There is always something to see. Quite often the animals are doing something like the monkeys who will climb on cars. You also drive though the lions. Sometimes you are lucky and they are moving around, but sometimes all you can see are lions in the distance. The rest of the zoo is also very good. There is a big parking area, where you can have your picnic if you want. Food there is fairly expensive, so a picnic is a good idea. They have a walk through lemur enclosure, and they do feeding of the penguins. These are my sons favourites, and at feeding time they allow 2 children to help them, but you have to be quick with your hand. My son got to do this once and really enjoyed it. We live about 30 mins from here and decided to buy an annual pass. It was well worth it, we used it alot. read more

I really do love this place,its really well kept and the animals are just so lovely,my family love it here.

There isn't anything we don't like about Woburn Safari Park. We visit here at least three times a year using our Tesco Clubcard points to get in for free. Its even fun to come here when it is raining, just stay in the car and do the safaris or stay indoors in the Ark play area or the Sea Lion house. read more

Great day out for all the family. Lots of animals to see including bears,tigers,lions,zebras and more. Not that cheap to get in but worth the money. There are cafes and toilets and also picnic areas. There is also a gift shop with lots of things to buy. They often have craft shows on aswell. read more

We love Woburn Safari park, we've been going here since we were kids and are still visiting. You drive through the park in the comfort of your own car getting up close and personal with many of the worlds m ost wonderfull creatures. At the end of the Safari drive there is plenty to do with Seal shows and small creatures a childrens park and a train ride. Food and picn ic tables a plenty. The whole familty will enjoy this place even if it rains. read more

This is easily one of the scariest places I have ever visited! I was dragged there by family as I am not really a nature person so all the animals terrified me! To be fair this is an excellent place for children who will be awestruck! Avoid if you are of a nervous disposition-namely ME for next time!Seriously this experience makes you really value being inside of a locked car. read more
