Kids on the case: Where have the animals gone?

Monthly theme at wild animal park encourages visitors to unravel a mystery and find the animals

Visitors to Port Lympne Wild Animal Park near Ashford can become detectives as they uncover clues to find out where the animals have gone whilst discovering all about the wild animal park’s schemes to send captive born animals back to the wild.
June’s theme is ‘Kids on the case – where have the animals gone?’ and throughout the month visitors can become super sleuths as they follow self guided trails and enjoy educational talks to uncover the whereabouts of some of the parks residents.

Carole Thomas, Communications Manager said: ‘June’s theme is very close to our hearts as we are just about to embark on a major project to send captive born primates back to the wild. The trails are a fun way to highlight the importance of the conservation work that we do here in conjunction with The Aspinall Foundation.’

Visitors will be able to follow the detective trail every day throughout June and fill in the answers in their free Ranger Log Books available from the gatehouse. Talks will be advertised on the information screens and boards.
