The Isle of Wight’s largest wildlife park, the Seaview Wildlife Encounter, is one of the most popular attractions on the island. This family-friendly animal attraction has all sorts of things to do, and regular events including a daily chance to meet the park wallabies, and a chance to feed the penguins.

The park’s open daily during the summer months, and popular with all kinds of people. For the romantics, ‘date packages’ offer a chance to get up close to the animals before enjoying a champagne lunch – a sure way to impress that special someone – whilst kids will love the opportunity to be a keeper for a day.

If you’re looking for an enjoyable way to reach the island if you’re not staying in Isle of Wight B&B, consider the Hovertravel service between Southsea and Ryde. The trip takes less than ten minutes, and you’ll then get to enjoy a seafront walk of approximately two miles to the wildlife encounter. Otherwise, book an Isle of Wight accommodation near Seaview, and enjoy easy access to this great attraction.
