Hop aboard the Jungle Cruise to meet gorillas and sea lions, wander through meerkats and free-flying lorikeets in Jungle Kingdom and enjoy close encounters with aardvarks, otters, porcupines and parrots.
Longleat House is also reopening to visitors following a two-year break due to the pandemic.
The house was the first in the country to open its doors to visitors in 1949 and this is the longest period it has had to remain closed in more than 70 years.
To mark the reopening, Longleat has announced brand-new guided tours and exhibitions, taking place throughout 2022.
Tours will include the original Elizabethan Great Hall, spectacular 19th century interiors, the magnificent State Rooms, ornate bedrooms and ‘backstairs’ areas.
Guests will have the chance to discover one of the most significant private collections in Britain including paintings by some of history’s most prominent artists, unique furniture, tapestries, ceramics, silver and Britain’s finest collection of books.
A changing programme of small exhibitions will also give visitors the opportunity to see special items which are not normally on permanent display, including material from the Longleat Archives.
Alongside the extraordinary animal experiences and historic stately home Longleat is also home to a huge variety of other attractions including the Little Explorers’ Garden for toddlers, the giant Hedge Maze, Rockin’ Rhino family ride and the full-size Adventure Castle where young imaginations can run wild.
