Highland Wildlife Park Entrance Tickets

About this experience

Highland Wildlife Park Tickets This ticket is admission to Highland Wildlife Park, a wildlife park and conservation site set in the heart of Cairngorms National Park. The park is home to over 200 cold-climate species living in expansive, naturalistic habitats. Your entrance ticket covers access to both the walking trails and the unique drive-through sections, where European bison and red deer roam freely across open Highland landscapes and can be observed from your car. The park's resident animals include polar bears in a specially designed swimming habitat with underwater viewing areas, Scottish wildcats in mountain enclosures, Amur tigers, snow leopards, red pandas, and lynx. The venue's dedicated keeper team leads educational talks throughout the day, offering insights into animal behaviour and the conservation work carried out on site. Admission supports global wildlife protection programmes and Scottish species preservation initiatives. Highlights Watch polar bears swim and play in their Arctic habitat with underwater viewing areas Observe Scottish wildcats, one of Britain's rarest native species, in mountain enclosures Drive through open reserve areas where European bison and red deer roam freely See Amur tigers in mountain enclosures that replicate their natural environments Spot snow leopards and red pandas in specially designed cold-climate habitats Join daily keeper-led feeding sessions and educational conservation talks Plan Your Visit to Highland Wildlife Park The park is open year-round, though severe weather may temporarily close certain sections for safety. Arriving early in the morning means quieter trails and increased animal activity during feeding times. Most of the visit takes place outdoors, so wear comfortable walking shoes and dress in layers for Highland weather conditions. Located approximately 2 hours' drive from Edinburgh near Kingussie, the park offers complimentary parking for all visitors. Major visitor routes and key viewing areas are wheelchair accessible, with accessible toilet facilities available throughout. Only registered guide dogs are permitted, for animal welfare and safety reasons. If you are exploring more of the Scottish Highlands, consider combining your wildlife park visit with a Loch Ness cruise to spot the legendary monster, or discover the dramatic landscapes with an Isle of Skye tour from Inverness. Live animals are not sold through this listing. Any animals encountered are part of the visit and none leaves with the guest.
