Secret Valley Wildlife Park

Secret Valley Wildlife Park

Secret Valley Wildlife Park is the only Wildlife Park in the South East. Ann O’Connor and her husband, John set up the original farm a few years ago and it has since grown from strength to strength. The passion that Ann and her staff have for the animals and environment is clearly evident from the moment the visitor is welcomed into the grounds. With fourteen areas of beautiful countryside, the Park has plenty of room for expansion and plans are already being put into place for next year. We have a great range of animals at the Wildlife Park such as raccooons, lemurs, rabbits, goats, donkeys. horses, alpacas, llamas, guinea pigs, prarire dogs, skunks and more. Activities are aplenty from riding ponies, arts & crafts, riding on a quad-bike, feeding kid goats, treasure hunts etc.

Review

Not quite knowing what to expect here, the Secret Valley Wildlife Park is one of Ireland’s hidden gem attractions that took me completely by surprise, as not only have they got a wide variety of animals on offer here, but at the time of going to print on this book, they also had an audio guide, now not many zoos can boast about that let me tell you. The Wildlife Park itself is ran by owner/ zoo keeper Ann and her family and although she’s up to her eyes in it most times, Ann along with her team, really know what they’re doing. I found the park to be clean, tidy and the entrance fee was very reasonable indeed, come to think of it, there isn’t really much to complain about here. The staff answered any questions I had with the greatest of ease and I found them all to be really helpful.
