Massive shout out to the lemurs too such a cuddly and playful pair! great value for money would definitely book experiences again to see them two! Definitely recommend and would go again. Perfect views at the top aswell to enjoy your lunch and nice walk around the park!

I have been coming to this park since I was a child over 20 years ago so have watched it grow into the outstanding day out it is today. I booked an owl experience for my autistic daughter who loves owls and Kev took the experience. He impressed me with how he handled my daughter, giving her constant praise and reassurance, asking her if she would like to do each thing and waiting on her response , understanding when she said no to something and didn’t force the issue but tactfully encouraged her to take part. He even let my middle child in on the action so her sister would have a little more confidence and was happy to answer her questions about all animals, not just owls. I have been coming here for years and will continue to be a repeat customer for years to come. Out of all the attractions Scotland wide, this is one not to miss. Highly recommend and highly recommend for neurodivergent children as well, I have 3 daughters and 2 are severe, youngest one is non verbal and there was plenty for her too, she was accommodated at everything and was given ample space and time to do things when she was ready, I.e. the petting area. We felt we were catered to as an individual family and were given ad much time as we needed to explore and experience the attractions.

We had a great couple of hours visiting all the animals. Walk-thru enclosures are a lot of fun.

Boyfriend took me for a lemur experience as a surprise for my birthday, we had Kevin who was an amazing host! so informative, funny and friendly. The lemurs are so friendly and cute got to feed them, water them and learn all about them, we even got to go feed the marmosets which was so so funny they jump all over you and the cutest little things ever! Really recommend doing both experiences! It included entry to the park and got to go round and see all the other animals! Benny the sheep dog is adorable all the animals are so looked after great place for any age! Really worth the money would definitely book to do the experience again can’t thank Kevin enough for being so nice and welcoming literally had the best day ever.

Been quite a few times. And stayed over in one of the tents and another with my own. Really enjoy going here. It’s never too busy, and when you stay over night you still get to go around and see the animals, which my Autistic son loves to do. Can’t fault the place. Staff are always helpful.

Booked the owl experience for my partner and it was amazing. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming and very informative. A great place for families but also just a day out. A massive shout out to Kevin for making our experience the best and most exciting day. The animals are obviously well taken care of and the staff are happy to answer any questions you have. Would definitely recommend going and will be going back soon. 🦉

Fab wee place for a day trip. Kids loved it.

Myself and my husband, took our son, daughter-in-law and our 3 year old grandaughter to your Winter Wonderland to visit Santa. Originally it was booked for Sat 22nd December but due to a forecasted storm was cancelled and rescheduled for christmas eve. It was absolutely magical from start to finish. We all loved the tractor ride to the christmas village and were met by welcoming, friendly elves. The great thing about the booking was there was only one other family in the same slot so very pleasant just meandering up the paths lit on both sides by fairylights. The giant decorations hanging from the trees and the names of the different areas. The theatre with the elves true story of christmas, the toy makers letter writing with the magic firepit, Mrs Claus with her homemade cookies and then Santa himself. My granddaughter was absolutely amazed that he knew all about her and she loved her cuddly toy she received from him. Thank you Auchingarrich for making a little girl's dream of meeting the "real Santa" come true. Would highly recommend this experience and will definitely book for next year. We visit Auchingarrich Wildlufe Park frequently during the year as our grandaughter is animal daft and it's such a brilliant day out ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful location, fun kid friendly park with surprisingly amazing food in their cafe. Probably the best burger I've ever had. The Emus were very happy getting up close and personal!

Mum and I wanted to do something different this year for Christmas Day after Dad's passing. We discovered Auchingarrich was open on Christmas Day and so we visited. We spent a very pleasant couple of hours there. We'll be back!

What a gem !!!! took my wife today December 14th for her birthday so she could feed some amazing and beautiful Asian Otters . The drive up is stunning and this park is nestled in amazing surroundings , snow on the mountains and roads this time of year . The staff were very friendly , all had a smile and seemed genuinely pleased to wee us and willing to answer any questions , The park is small and some of the paths quite steep so worth bearing in mind if less able . The otters are amazing so friendly and molly our guide was full of information and you could see she loved them . getting up close to these was truly special and well worth the very reasonable cost . most of the animals here you can get up close and personal with and even touch and stroke most , if they are willing of course , The Cafe is lovely with plenty of food and reasonably priced with a spectacular view from inside or out on the balcony . If you havent been here you really are missing out . This isnt edinburgh zoo but what it looses in size and exotic animals it more than makes up for in up close experience and amazing surroundings . we will be going again

Great farm park, my 5 year old really enjoyed it.

We visited the park today, a snowy winters day and the animals were all out. The place was quiet, staff were friendly and the animals were great and content. The café was decent. Whole park was pushchair friendly, even in the snow. Would recommend a family visit!

If like myself, you love animals, Auchingarrich Wildlife Park is the place for you. Easy to find with loads of parking. Peacocks were strutting around, pot bellied pigs, donkeys, horses and meerkats to name a few animals to see, which were the cutest 🥰Fluffy alpacas which deviously looked like they wanted you to clap them but don’t get too close because the cheeky devils WILL spit! It was quiet when we went but can imagine it would be very busy during summer months. There’s lots of play parks and activities to keep kids occupied too but it’s still thoroughly enjoyable for adults visiting without kids! A cafe is on site for food and refreshments too. A really good day out all round 🙂
