Drusillas Zoo Park, Animal park in Alfriston, East Sussex, England
Description
Drusillas Zoo Park is an animal park in Alfriston housing about a hundred exotic creatures including sloths and penguins across spacious grounds. The facility is designed so visitors can observe the different species in large, open areas.
History
The animal collection started in the 1920s as a small family venture and grew into a modern zoological facility over several decades. This gradual development shaped how the park looks and operates today.
Culture
The park works closely with wildlife protection groups, especially supporting sloth conservation work that visitors can learn about during their visit. These partnerships shape how the animals are cared for and presented to guests.
Practical
The park is open daily and offers various paths to explore the grounds that are accessible to walkers and families with young children. There are areas to rest and eat if you need a break between viewing different animals.
