Meerkat Experience

A Unique Meerkat Experience

Looking for the best meerkat experience in the UK? Step into the fascinating world of meerkats with our interactive Meerkat Encounter at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park – a one-of-a-kind animal experience, the perfect gift idea!

Get up close and personal with our friendly meerkat family (Suricata suricatta) in a purpose-built Western-style enclosure, designed to reflect their playful personalities. This immersive encounter lets you feed, photograph, and even pose alongside these curious creatures as they explore their surroundings – and you!

Our meerkats were among the very first mammals to join us back when we were known as The Parrot Zoo. Since then, they’ve become firm favourites with guests and keepers alike, known for their energetic nature and cheeky charm.

In 2014, we reimagined their home into an enchanting Meerkat Western Town, featuring quirky attractions like Cleo’s Tequila Bar and the General Store Church – perfect for a laugh and a photo opportunity!
