Lakeland Wildlife Oasis - Milnthorpe

We signed up for the meerkat feeding experience and it did not disappoint! One even climbed right onto my lap! The keepers were incredibly friendly and the animals were clearly well taken care of. It was a wonderful day, and I look forward to visiting again soon.

This wildlife park is a true hidden gem! We visited based on a recommendation and it certainly lived up to expectations! The staff are fantastic, and each exhibit features interactive elements that make the experience even more engaging. It's an ideal spot for a fun afternoon. They have snow leopards and fruit bats that fly freely in the indoor exhibit. They also host bat nights, which sound amazing! The café is delightful, with a wide selection of options, and part of it is connected to an animal enclosure. If you have the opportunity, definitely go and support this wonderful place!

The restaurant features a charming mini zoo that offers a delightful experience for both children and adults. Our two little ones (ages 2.5 and 7) had a fantastic time, especially when they got up close to the lemurs. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to explore, depending on your pace and how much you interact with the animals. There’s a small café on-site, but we didn't try the food, so I'm not sure what they serve. Additionally, there’s a gift shop. The kids even received a quiz to complete, and they got a little prize at the end for finishing it.

This is a fantastic mini zoo that offers great value for the price. There's a café on-site and plenty of picnic benches available outside. There’s so much to see, including a butterfly house, bats, armadillos, and even a snow leopard, to name just a few attractions.

We absolutely adore this charming little spot. It's definitely worth the visit, especially for those who might struggle with longer distances—there's plenty to see in a compact area. The staff are incredibly friendly, making it our favorite place to go all year round. The level of care for the animals is heartwarming to witness; they're well-stimulated and well-fed, and it’s clear that all the animals are healthy and happy. I can't recommend this place enough. The snow leopards are stunning, as is the fossa. While I'm generally not a fan of animals in captivity, Lakeland has made great efforts to recreate natural habitats, allowing the animals to use their instincts when it comes to food, unlike some places that simply toss food into enclosures. It's evident that the keepers truly care about their animals, and that passion shines through.
