About this place
Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is a charming wildlife attraction showcasing a fascinating range of animals in both indoor tropical halls and outdoor settings. Home to snow leopards, arctic foxes, fruit bats, meerkats, armadillos and many other creatures, it offers families a wonderful opportunity to get up close to wildlife in a well-maintained environment. The venue is particularly known for its free-flying fruit bats and keeper experience activities, which give children memorable interactions with animals. With friendly, knowledgeable staff and a relaxed pace, it's an ideal half-day visit for families wanting to learn about conservation and animal behaviour.
