Home to around hundreds of exotic and endangered animals, and the perfect day out for animal encounters and visiting wonderful wildlife. As a multi award-winning visitor attraction, Woburn makes a valuable contribution to conservation, and is a place where families can enjoy being together, seeing animals in a beautiful natural environment.

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience is an educational activity and the 14-day cooling-off period under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 therefore applies. After the 14 day period my standard policy will apply.
