Taking up an offer recently from my parents to take me to Woburn this Sunday just gone proved to make for one of the best days out I've had for a long while. Entry to the park was £17 per adult and i believe it was £12 per child I think a child was classed as 12 or under. I thought this was quite expensive at first however when compared to other zoos and the experiance you get here it's very fairly priced indeed. I also enquired about a year ticket which costs £55 and allows you to visit as many times as you like in that year. You also get your ticket fee for the day refunded if you buy it there and then. Once in you can go round the safari as many times ...  Read the complete review

--Where is it?-- Woburn Safari Park is in a village called Woburn which is just outside of Bedford. It is situated near Woburn Abbey and the deer park if you are also interested in visiting these. --Pricing-- Prices vary depending on the season currently an adults ticket costs £17 and a child costs £12.

Half -term holidays saw us going on a trip to Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire. We arrived at 10 o,clock which was opening time and saw quite large queues at the toll-booths which seemed to move extremely slowly but that may well have just been the begining of the day hold up and would probably ease after our arrival. For one adult and two children it was £45 which I thought was a bit pricey but I had gone armed with Tesco Day Out vouchers so at least I didn't have to pay! After passing through the tollgates you enter the Road safari. I didn't feel this was particularly good. We found it nearly impossible to see the Rhino as the enclosure was so far from ...  Read the complete review

Went for the day out during the Easter holidays with my three year old. Was a little annoyed that there was no displays of admission price until you get to the gate (by which time too late to reverse out) and initially thought it was a huge amount (£73 for 3 adults and one child) but later admitted there is a lot to do there. The safari itself was probably the least succesful part, having gone during a school holiday it was a little to a kin to sitting in a traffic jam in africa! My three year old therefore lost interest and the animals were just that little bit to far away to keep her engaged (is apparently better on warmer days) and i was a little disappointed in ...  Read the complete review
