Get set for half-term at Wild Place Project
The first school break of the year will be an exciting one at Wild Place Project.
By going there visitors can “travel” the world and see a range of amazing animals from different countries.
In the space of a few hundred yards they can see giraffes from Cameroon, lemurs from Madagascar and gelada baboons from Ethiopia.
Within a short walk there is the award-winning Bear Wood with brown bears, lynxes, wolves and wolverines living in the natural surroundings these species would have done in England thousands of years ago.
And in the walled garden, from South Africa, there is the ever-popular colony of meerkats and a family of dik-diks, some of the smallest antelopes in the world.
There is also the chance to explore 50 acres of outdoor space including woodlands and the glorious Tower Meadow.
Youngsters can let off steam in the adventure play areas all around Wild Place Project and climb aboard a wooden aeroplane model based on the Bristol Bulldog.
For those who are a little more adventurous there is the climbing wall and giant swing at Leap of Faith which reopens after its winter break for February half-term.
James Kitto, Head of Commercial Operations for Bristol Zoological Society’s Wild Place Project, said: “There are so many ways to enjoy a visit to Wild Place Project. It is the perfect day out for a February half-term – fun and fascinating for all the family.
“Plus as a conservation charity, every visitor is helping us in our mission of saving wildlife together.”
