Welcome to Askham Bryan Wildlife & Conservation Park! Opening to visitors in 2017, the wildlife park serves as a hub for the local community, welcoming 20,000 visitors a year as well as hosting schools, young people and other local community groups for tours, talks and workshops. The park is home to over 100 species of mammal, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates – many of which are threatened, from otters to goats and parrots to snakes.

Based with a large arboretum tree information trail in the middle the wildlife park is an on your door, family trip out with some unique residents.
As a member of BIAZA, the wildlife park is part of a group of collections that provide vital education, conservation and research working in the UK and around the world. This ensures we maintain high standards, for both our visitors and our students (who are working towards industry relevant qualifications).

Join us as we have daily animal talks throughout the day by our education and keeper team. Our keepers are always on hand to answer any questions you may also have about our animals.
