Animal-lovers staying in B&B or hotel accommodation in Eastleigh should clear a space in their itinerary for a day at Marwell Wildlife. This fantastic zoo and wildlife park is home to a whole host of animals, from big cats to small bugs. There are on-site children’s play areas at this family attraction, only 15 minutes from Eastleigh by car, as well as cafes, restaurants and refreshment facilities catering to even the fussiest diner.

Guests with disabilities are well catered for, as are guests with a little too much money! There are gift shops on-site, and guests are even offered the opportunity to adopt their favourite animal. Packs given out to new adopters feature stuffed toys, fridge magnets, animal photos, free tickets, an invitation to a special adopters event and, of course, a certificate of adoption.

For something even more unique, why not apply to Marwell Wildlife for a work experience placement, and book accommodation at a local hotel or holiday cottage for the duration? Otherwise, why not book a Sunset Safari for your group activity, receiving private access to the park after hours, for 15 people or more, perhaps followed by an on-site BBQ?

There are special events at Marwell Wildlife all year round. If you’re planning a visit, check the official website to find out what’s on.
