Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park (ABWCP) is home to over 100 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates, many of which are threatened in their natural habitat. Our animals range from otters to goats and parrots to snakes!!

Located within a large arboretum, the Wildlife Park's enclosures are thoughtfully placed to keep you connected to nature throughout your visit. We’ve recently just opened our Heritage Conservation Farm, raising awareness of rare farm breeds and their importance.

Entrance tickets are available for purchase both on the day of your visit and through our website. We also offer season tickets for local visitors and special animal experiences for those looking to make their day even more memorable.

ABWCP is based at Askham Bryan College, so from Monday to Friday during term time, we are the classroom for the next generation of animals keepers and conservationists! We cannot allow visitors during the week when students are in.

We’re open on weekends and during the school holidays, from 10am – 5pm in the summer and 10am-4pm in the winter. Check out our website for accurate dates!

The Wildlife Park team offer daily talks throughout the day and are always on hand to talk about the animals they work closely with. Our on-site café, located next to our FREE car park, provides hot drinks and an array of sandwiches. It's open from 10am – 3pm. Children can also burn off those sweet treats in the play area of the wildlife park.

Under 3’s go FREE!!

As a member of BIAZA, the wildlife park is part of a group of collections that provide vital education, conservation and research in the UK around the world. This ensures they maintain high standards, for both their visitors and students (who are working towards industry-relevant qualifications).
