Treat the family to a fun and educational visit to Howletts, Kent's original wildlife park and home to over 400 animals including the UK's largest herd of African elephants and Kent's only giant anteaters. With new babies arriving throughout the year, a visit to Howletts offers an action-packed, wild day out with something new to see and experience at every turn!
Set in 100-acres of lush green ancient parkland, Howletts works hand-in-hand with The Aspinall Foundation, a world-leading charity dedicated to the conservation, breeding and re-introduction of endangered animals. Your ticket directly helps protect the huge range of wildlife you'll see on your visit, including more tigers, leopards and gorillas than anywhere else in the UK!
In Animals of the Ice Age you'll discover a world lost in time with the life size prehistoric creatures inhabiting the Woodland Walk. Encounter the mighty mammoth, giant prehistoric sloth, savage sabre-toothed Smilodon, and many more!
Walking with Lemurs gives visitors the chance to walk alongside lively, playful lemurs in their natural leafy enclosure as they explore the treetops overhead.
There's plenty for families of all ages to enjoy at Howletts. Explore wooded pathways and the fun play area, watch the animals being fed, visit the education centre, join the animal talks and download the free Howletts app to learn more about the animals and their care - all included with your entry ticket!
