A free-range conservation zoo with endangered animals.
Fota Wildlife Park is not like your typical zoo – with a 100-acre open arena space where you can see animals up-close without the pesky glass barrier or bars of a cage, the park offers a more intimate experience where animals get to roam in a more natural setting. Witness the exciting cheetah run, where these giant felines chase after their food whilst suspended on a machine-run wire as a form of exercise. Or wander through the park and admire the gorgeous flora and fauna, including the unique sessile oak and the distinctive holly. If you’re not feeling up to all that walking, hop aboard a train ride that takes you through all the exhibits. Fota Wildlife Park also offers plentiful opportunities to interact with the animals, with feeding and photo spots found inside the expansive park. From birds to monkeys to big cats, the diverse array of animals will never fail to capture your interest with their antics in their natural habitat. Immerse yourself in this peaceful sanctuary where animals roam free beside you.
