Howletts Day Ticket - Book Your Visit from The King's Mile, Canterbury

Summary: Fantastic day didn't disappoint nearly all the animals where out even though it was a extremely windy day only one we didn't see was the tiger the woodland walk was closed due to high winds night before bringing down some branches but did not ruin the day highly recommended

Summary: We recently visited Howletts Safari Park and had a fantastic time from start to finish. Pre booking our tickets was easy and hassle free, and there was plenty of parking available when we arrived. The park itself was brilliant… so many animals to see, from big cats to playful primates. We loved watching them in spacious, well-kept enclosures that clearly prioritise animal welfare. One of the highlights of our visit was deciding to adopt a wolf, which made the experience even more memorable. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole place had a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back soon for another adventure!

Summary: Purchased the gelada feeding for my Sister & her three year old Daughter as it was her birthday, such a lot of fun! Maya was brilliant with her, answered all of her (some a bit silly) questions. All the staff at Howletts were so kind & helpful, we had a lovely day.

Summary: What a super day , it was very windy but nearly all of the animals were out , we did the elephant experience and we both loved it , Eden our ranger was very informative and friendly , we fed the elephants bamboo , it was amazing . I'm disabled and did the park on my scooter , the staff couldn't have been more helpful and literally made my day , I've recently been like this and was anxious but all those feelings went away . The park is very well kept and animals look well looked after . The gift shop is well stocked and the staff in there were incredibly helpful , we love it here and will be back

Summary: We visited Howletts the day after visiting Port Lympne (sister zoological centre) and we had a really lovely time. It was yet another great conservation establishment and they also have really great enclosures. The animals all looked very well looked after and happy. We highly recommend a visit.

Summary: Howletts is a must for anyone wanting to see incredible animals close up. I don't consider Howletts is a zoo, as the majority of animals are in large enclosures, many as close to their natural habitat as its possible to provide. It's a wonderful day out for all the family.

Summary: This is the first time back to Howletts for many years and wasn’t sure what to expect. Many wildlife parks have struggled to survive the pandemic but it was positive to see that they were still going as a park and as a conservation organisation. Not much directed breeding going on at the moment as all such parks are in a bit of stasis at the moment. Saw plenty of animals albeit sometimes just a glimpse, but these places are about the animals first and keeping their habitat as natural as possible. I have to give a big shout out to one of the Rangers -Charlie. We had time today to attend a few talks and the two he did were excellent. His is extremely knowledgeable, able to adapt to his audience and happy to explore other areas of animals. Great job.

Summary: Didn't expect to see all the wild animals but did absolutely love and enjoy what we saw. Took a steady no rush walk enjoyed tea coffee and lunch, and braved the creapy crawly and snake exhibition. 2nd visit probably 30 plus years apart and not disappointed

Summary: I was a little worried as their animal experiences cost less than other zoos, especially as they were doing summer deal of £10 per child, but the experiences were exceptional. We did the rhino and ant eater experiences and thoroughly enjoyed both. The rangers were really informative with a great rapport with the children. The zoo itself is well maintained and the talks are really good. We have been a couple of times before so we took our time, arriving at 10am, one experience at 11am the other at 3.30pm and we left just after 4pm. I great day out!

Summary: What an amazing day we had at Howletts. As a family we always try and find somewhere new to visit! We come across here so we thought why not! And we was NOT disappointed. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a warm reception, staff happy to talk, smiley and so so friendly. We the walked round and we met Steve this man is hilarious, warm and friendly easily adaptable to people and our kids walked away with a huge smile on their faces! We then had an amazing feeding experience with steve who was very kind and caring, full of knowledge, supported everyone of us through the experience! Then there was Angela what a kind hearted person to talk to! She was helpful and considerate, a pleasure to have a conversation with. Finally there was Ersine! What a legend!! This man was so funny best personality! made us feel so welcome! And so kind between him and Angela they helped my mum with such little effort! (she has mobility issues) and those 2 couldn’t of helped and cared more than they did! From the start it was just the best experience and a lifetime long memory made! Those 4 people made our day extra special, but in all honesty everyone there was just amazing! We will never forget our day so thank you to you all! We cannot wait to come back! Best zoo we have been too that’s not just because of the beautiful place it is but because of the people that make it so beautiful!
