The Wild Place Project

We’ve been waiting for this place to open for years. We first saw plans at Clifton (Bristol) Zoo ages ago when I’m pretty sure it was described as a safari park. I don’t think they’d quite call it that at the moment but it does have that kind of feel to the place.
It’s a wide open place with a great feel of freedom — despite it being right next to the M5. The animals certainly have a lot more room than at the zoo and if you’re somebody who is put off by the ‘caged’ feel of a zoo this may be for you.
It’s certainly a work in progress with more animals added each time I’ve been. I went at the weekend and they’ve added a brilliant wolves enclosure since I last went.
While the animals are great our children love the barefoot trail where you walk… barefooted (how did you guess) across many different materials such as shredded tyres, pebbles and even glass — don’t worry it’s safe even for our two year old. There’s a tap at the end where you can wash your feet but our tip is to take a towel. You’ll be the envy of everyone there if you do.
There’s an indoor play fort, well it’s in an open barn so you’re dry but not in a stuffy, smelly room like some soft play areas can be.
There’s quite a few places to have a picnic such as in the fun fort, in a teepee or by the trampolines. Often we’d buy food at these places but it’s just so expensive in the café that I can’t bring myself to part with the money. Over £4 for a very average looking sandwich that wouldn’t fill me. Really that’s the only shame about the place, the entrance is affordable, the annual ticket is great value for money. It’s friendly, it doesn’t feel too big. I’d certainly recommend it if you have children.

What a lovely little gem this place is, hidden slightly just off the motorway, The Wild Place Project is a must for a visit with the kids.
We came here today with our 2 year old son and my 16 month old niece and they both loved it. They have a nice variety of animals which the children were fascinated by.
They also have a play area undercover which can be hired out for parties which I think is a brilliant idea.
On site they have a little café selling hot & cold food, toilets, baby change and a small gift shop.
Prices are £7.50 for adults
£6 for children
Under twos are free.
Overall we had a lovely afternoon out and will most definitely be returning.

This place is on my door step just off the M5 near cribs causeway.
What a fantastic place it is to, a great day out for the family, children of all ages will find something to do.
At £7.50 for an adult and under twos free.
The Wild Place Project is a fun, family attraction that provides adventure, play and learning, with an emphasis on protecting threatened habitats on our doorstep.
There’s a number of animals to see from lemurs, zebras to wolfs.
There’s a number of lovely gardens to walk through and lots of wooded area to explore.
They have a shop on sight you have to walk through it on the way in and out, that’s one thing I don’t like as it feels like they are pushing you in to buying things. Although most places do this now so guess it’s the norm.
They have a café too which is nice. They sell drinks coffee, cake sandwiches etc, some lovely places to sit and relax.
Plenty of parking.
Overall a fantastic day out which I highly recommend for all. Take a visit and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed,
