RELAXED MORNING

Our next Relaxed Morning is on Friday 20th June 2025. The Park will be open at 10am, offering guests a chance to explore the Safari Walk area in a calmer, low-stimulation environment.

From 10am to 12pm, we’ll be turning off music and immersive sound effects across the Safari Walk to support a more sensory-friendly experience.

Please note: A private sea lion session will be taking place from 10:15am to 10:35am. During this time, the keepers will use the speaker system, and this may be audible outside the Sea Lion Theatre.

We will also be opening our Crafty Cubs Corner, where guests can take part in some colouring activities, explore sensory boxes or take advantage of the quiet space, for any guests who feel like they may need a break from the fun from 10am - 4pm.

We recommend guests visit the Safari Walk first to enjoy the relaxed setting, followed by the Safari Drive later in the day.

Ear defenders are available to borrow from Main Reception. A £5 cash deposit is required per set and will be refunded upon return.
