Coronavirus Guest Information

Update: 27th January 2022

Guests will not be required to wear a face covering, including indoor attractions and restaurants. However, we would kindly ask that guests wear face coverings, if they are able to, when visiting Lemur Woods or the Twilight Cave to help further protect these species.

We’ll continue to encourage all guests to still make use of the hand sanitisers and hand washing stations located across the park, and follow directional signage where possible. Enhanced cleaning of our facilities and rides will continue to take place.

Update: From Friday 10th December, face coverings are mandatory in all indoor areas of the Safari Park, including gift shops, Reception areas, Santa’s Grotto and exhibits such as Lorikeet Landing, Reptile House and Aquarium, with the exception of guests under 12 and those who are medically exempt.

Face coverings will also be required when in Safari Park official vehicles, such as our Minibus Guided Tours and VIP experiences.

For the wellbeing of our animals, all guests must wear a face covering when visiting Lemur Woods and Twilight Cave. This is a specific request from our animal experts. If you are exempt from wearing a face covering, we ask that you please don’t visit these exhibits at this time. Only children under 3 are exempt, but they must be carried by a parent/guardian at all times.
