Fabulous photography day. It works for keen photography buffs or for people who just want to get closer to the wildlife and take home some pictures as souvenirs. Millie was a great guide - full of info and humour and with an obvious love for the animals she takes care of.
We got close to red squirrel, foxes, a harvest mouse, Scottish wildcat and an owl for unhurried photo sessions. Ed Sheeran the tubby squirrel and McTavish the wildcat were particular stars, but the dormouse possibly gave the best photos. We also viewed and snapped stoats, pine martens, deer, polecats and hibernating badgers. Diesel the weasel and the ermine were just too fast to photograph but good to see.
Remember to bring your lunch.

This place is fantastic, firstly it's easy to get here from Hertfordshire, the entry costs are very reasonable, the place is not too vast which means you can see it all easily.
The staff are just so friendly, and always so helpful, the cafe is quite good, the regular talks are excellent, very informative, and you get to see all the animals during the talks.
There never seems to be any trashy public visitors, AND, the animals are ADORABLE! especially the the red squirrels and of course the foxes which are delightful always.
A very worthy visit at any time of year.

Bigger than I expected from the plan on arrival, but the enclosures are quite small. There are a range of talks to attend throughout the day and the staff seem knowledgeable. Also a good representation of British wildlife, but I do question the presence of Mink - which are not only not British, but are a serious threat to many of our native species.
There is a small cafe area that serve snacks and drinks, Adequate parking, especially at present as you have to book in advance. Not many places to sit as you wander round and virtually no shelter if it rains - which it did!!

Our first visit to this fantastic centre, but certainly not our last. Easy to find, plenty of parking and friendly, helpful staff. The whole park is aimed at education and conservation while enabling you to get closer to British wildlife than you may ever get elsewhere. As a photographer, even on general open days, it offers fantastic opportunities. Like most experiences with nature you may have to be patient but it can be so rewarding. The keepers talks, every half an hour, almost guarantee sightings and the walk through Red Squirrel Copse is worth the visit alone. Can't wait to return.

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post a review after your very first visit. It's satisfying to hear that you saw our wonderful wildlife close-up. It is just as you say, invariably the animals will be out at the Keeper Talks, but with patience you'll see many of our residents outside these times, all very much on their terms! We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Another fabulous visit. Not as many animals around as before, but it's the British Wildlife Centre and we were aware before visiting that our native wildlife tends to slow down in the Autumn. Still loads to see and as ever the keeper talks were brilliant and informative. Highlight is always the gregarious and inquisitive red squirrels, but Mortimer and the deer were also particularly good today. Food excellent, staff friendly and went out of their way to ensure everyone had the opportunity to see the animals even the latecomers to the hedgehogs.
Thank you once again ☺️

Thank you so much for this 5 Star Review, we appreciate you taking the time. 'Naughty Morty' the fox is always wonderful value and we're glad you enjoyed seeing many of the other animals. The hedgehogs are now approaching hibernation so it's good you saw them before their winter sleep.

Found this park on the net by chance when researching photographic locations for wildlife. Visit was well worth the effort, very well planned park, nice habitats for animals, informative staff and superb displays. Grass snakes were my favorite

We are glad you found us and appreciated the Centre, its inhabitant and their habitats. Do check out our Photography Days for very close access to the animals. We hope you'll visit us again soon.

We had a lovely day here . Make sure to go to the talks because that’s where you will see all the wildlife and learn about them . The keepers make it interesting and fun. It was great to see red squirrels but be patient. The owl display was great

Is there a great deal of walking involved? And is there anywhere that an elderly person could sit and wait comfortably during inclement weather while their family go round?

Hello! Theirs not really alot of walking, though if you want to cover everything it does go quite far round. At the start theirs mice, foxes and others, abit further on is red squirrels, wildcats and badger weasel etc. Its only the deers and otters that are furthest way. Their are lots of benches dotted around. Theirs a nice cafe with seating and a great place to relax. I hope you do go because its a great little attraction. Look out for flo the beautiful fox.

Will the Centre keep a 7yr and 6yr old sufficiently occupied? I need them to let off some steam as well as enjoy the animal talks.. thanks

I believe your children would enjoy seeing our own wildlife up close and get to enjoy the keepers' interesting, passionate talks too; the animals have superb facilities and are all in excellent condition; certainly a recommended visit.

Our kid is just under two, loves spotting animals but we’re wondering if the surroundings would be safe enough to let him walk around and have fun? Thanks!

Yes, the surroundings are safe. The animals reside in large naturally landscaped enclosures and there are smooth, tarmac paths all the way round. The focus is very much on the animals at the Centre, with keeper talks held every half an hour so you'll be able to see the different species up close and hear all about them.
We have a small wildlife-themed activity area and picnic area, called Pip's Corner, where he can let off a bit of steam!
How much is it

Do you have red squirrels that we could see if we visit please?

J_T_Babage
Yeah they do in a nice enclosure. Feeding time is about 9:30 I think so get there for them or you might not see them as they are quite elusive

From their website:
Public Transport
Unfortunately there are no scheduled bus services past our door, although residents of Tandridge District can use the special Buses4U service - a pre-booked flexible local service with no fixed timetable. Call 01372 20 45 40 to book.
The nearest train station is Lingfield on the London to East Grinstead line - from there you'll need a taxi, which will cost about £6 or £7. Unless you have a good Ordnance Survey map and are happy negotiating public footpaths across the fields (a lovely walk) we don't advise walking from the station due to the very busy road at the end of the route.

Would it be suitable for a 3 year old
?

Yes, it would be suitable, you can get quite close to the animals and most of the enclosures are fully accessible.
I hope you have an amazing day out!
