Annual membership gifts for wildlife lovers

Give a whole year of adventure with an annual membership. The recipient can visit as often as they like, enjoying peaceful walks through the woodland or fun-filled family days watching their favourite animals.

It is a great choice for locals across the New Forest, Southampton, Bournemouth and beyond. Members enjoy unlimited visits for 12 months, plus the joy of seeing the park in every season. It is one of those presents that never ends up forgotten in a drawer. It is used, loved and talked about all year long.

Keeper experiences for unforgettable animal encounters

For something truly special, our keeper experiences let animal lovers go behind the scenes and discover what it is really like to care for our residents. Feed the animals, chat to our friendly team and enjoy an unforgettable day full of core-memory moments.

It is one of the best experience gifts for animal lovers in Hampshire, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries or Christmas presents that go beyond the ordinary. You are not just giving a day out, you are giving a story they will tell for years.

Admission gift vouchers for flexible days out

If you are not sure when they would like to visit, our admission gift vouchers make the perfect choice. The recipient can pick their own date, whether that is a crisp winter walk or a sunny summer adventure.

Vouchers are ideal as stocking fillers, birthday presents or spontaneous surprises. They are easy to give and even easier to enjoy. All the fun of the park, with none of the pressure to plan ahead.

Adopt an animal for a wild surprise

If you are looking for a gift with heart and a hint of adventure, Adopt an Animal is a wonderful way to make someone smile. The recipient becomes part of the story of one of our much-loved animals, from playful otters to majestic owls, and helps to care for them all year round.

Each adoption includes a certificate and fact sheet about their chosen animal, so they can proudly show off their wild connection. It is a thoughtful present that supports the park and the wildlife who call it home.

The adoption also comes with an admission ticket, so they can come and visit their animal in person. It is a lovely combination of heart and experience, and a truly wild surprise to unwrap.
