Port Lympne £1m Make-Over

Port Lympne Wildlife Park has been transformed by a £1m investment in a new range of amenities and visitor experiences. Across their 600-acres they now offer four separate on-foot zones, linked by safari vehicles providing opportunities for families to discover previously out-of-bounds territory from which to view animals.

Two new restaurants with outdoor verandas have been built plus an education centre for talks and demonstrations by experts and an information centre where visitors can learn about the work of the Aspinall Foundation, the conservation charity behind the park.

A new Port Lympne Passport has also been launched which enable customers to return as many times as they like for a year from their first visit at no extra charge.
