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.
