Red Panda Experience
THE AWARD-WINNING RED PANDA EXPERIENCE
Would you like to meet a Red Panda up close? A fantastic special face to face, interactive meet and greet with our wonderful Red Pandas.
What's Included:
- Entry into Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary from 10am.
- Meet in the Gift Shop at 1:15pm (you would be notified if the time changed due to weather).
- An introductory briefing by one of our Red Panda Keepers.
- Each experience session typically lasts thirty minutes.
- Then the really exciting bit… it’s off to the enclosure where you will come face to face with these wonderful Red Pandas. You will be able to hand-feed, stroke, take photos, and maybe one will even sit on your lap!
- Opportunity to ask our Keepers any questions you may have.
- You will be given a complimentary drink voucher to use in the Otter Pool Cafe.
- You can then enjoy the Park for that day and before you leave you will receive a certificate as a memento of your experience.
- Included in the price, Paradise Park makes a £25 donation to the Red Panda Network for each Red Panda Experience booked. The Red Panda Network is committed to the conservation of wild Red Pandas and their habitat through the education and empowerment of local communities.
- Don’t forget your camera!
PRICE
£275 for up to 2 people. A £25 donation is included within this for the Red Panda Network charity.

CONDITIONS
The Paradise Park Red Panda Experience is available for adults and children over the age of 10 years. Children between 10 and 15 years old must be accompanied by a spectating parent/guardian. So, if one child is booked then a parent/guardian can spectate from outside or accompany them in the enclosure (to the maximum two guests). If two children are booked, then a spectating parent/guardian should buy a ticket and can watch from the public viewing area. Additional family/friends will need to pay standard admission fees to visit the Park and watch from the public viewing area outside the enclosure.
PLEASE NOTE: At some times of the year we may be in a bird flu surveillance zone (mammals can potentially catch bird flu) so there could be footbaths on the way in to the Red Pandas and appropriate footwear is needed (ie not sandals).
RESTRICTIONS
Regrettably certain guests may be unable to take part. The Red Pandas need quiet and calm, guests must be able to understand and follow guidance from the Keeper in charge. Please notify us if you have any relevant health conditions, phobias or allergies. Whilst every effort is made to accommodate those with a physical disability or learning difficulty, due to practicality and health and safety this cannot always be achieved. Contact admin@paradisepark.org.uk at Paradise Park for advice before booking.
WHEELCHAIR TRAINED RED PANDAS
We have one wheelchair accessible Red Panda enclosure. The Keepers worked with the Red Pandas so now they ‘wheelchair trained’ and confident with people using these in the enclosure. So, although it is not guaranteed, the Red Pandas are usually happy to sit on a person’s lap and that includes if they are sitting in a wheelchair.
Thank you for your interest in meeting these wonderful animals and supporting this endangered species in the wild.
