Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, Theme park and zoo in North Devon, England
Description
Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park is a leisure facility in North Devon featuring animal enclosures with wolves, sea lions, primates, and penguins across its 28 acres. Life-sized dinosaur models are positioned throughout the grounds, creating themed areas that separate different sections of the park.
History
The park was established in the early 1990s as a small zoo and grew gradually over the following years. Dinosaur attractions and educational displays were added as the facility expanded to become a larger leisure destination.
Culture
The park allows visitors to engage directly with staff who share knowledge about endangered animals and their conservation needs. These interactions create memorable moments that help people understand why protecting wildlife matters today.
Practical
The park operates on a seasonal schedule and visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes since most areas are outdoors. It is advisable to check opening times before arriving, as these vary throughout the year depending on weather and season.
Did you know?
A distinctive feature is the opportunity to join breakfast sessions with the park's carnivores and have close encounters with the resident grey wolves. These hands-on experiences are uncommon in most British leisure facilities and create lasting memories.
