Lakeland Wildlife Oasis

Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is a popular zoo located near junction 35 of the M6 motorway in Milnthorpe, Cumbria, making it a convenient stop for travellers and a rewarding destination for local families. Home to over 100 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, the zoo features residents such as Eurasian lynxes, ring-tailed lemurs, and meerkats across tropical indoor halls, walkthrough enclosures, and outdoor areas. Visitors can enjoy keeper encounters, interactive animal sessions, and celebrations including birthday parties, as well as relaxing in the on-site Wild Café. Run by The Lakeland Trust for Natural Sciences, a registered conservation charity, the zoo places education and wildlife conservation at the heart of everything it does. Year-round daily opening from 10am, weather-independent facilities, and outreach programmes for schools make Lakeland Wildlife Oasis an accessible and enriching experience for all ages.
