Hello, Welcome back I hope that you are all well?
I've been out exploring again and this time we took my little cousin with us Gabriella, which was fun! we did this for a couple of reasons, one was so that she could help share some of the interactions there are, and secondly, she has wanted to come on a visit for a long while now, we thought this would be something for her to enjoy.
We took my mobility scooter along with us for me to use but unfortunately, it broke down just at the start of our visit which was a shame as we wanted to share how it got on while visiting, also it would have been a lot easier for me as I struggle with walking.
But we made it! we just had to stop for lots of breaks so that I could rest and luckily there was lots of seating as you go round which was good news.
They do have one wheelchair there that you can borrow, it is on a first-come basis so if this is something that you feel you may need then it might be worth contacting them before your visit so that they can hold it back for you, or you can hire a wheelchair or scooter before your visit to take with you.
Visiting the British Wildlife Centre was very good, full of lots of information about all the animals and they do talks there at set times which you will find on their website.
They are not open all of the time as they like to let schools and groups in to help teach people all about the animals, I think this is amazing and worth reading their story on their website and seeing the work that they are doing.
As I said at the start we were going to take the mobility scooter with us but it broke down but it's mostly mobility scooter friendly, there is a red squirrel area that the scooter could not go into as the doorway was too small, but mine is large, so you may be able to get a smaller one in there, people were in there with buggies and I think a wheelchair will fit nicely you may need someone to help open the doors for you. The rest of the grounds around the park are accessible for scooters, wheelchairs, and on foot, one thing they do not allow because of the nature of the park is dogs of any kind, including guide dogs so please be aware of this before your visit.
They do offer carer free tickets and they have disabled parking so don't forget your blue badge.
The main buildings are on one level and are step-free accessible.
They have unisex disabled toilets, which are just outside by the cafe and gift shop.
There are lots of things to see and do at the British Wildlife Centre and definitely worth taking a camera as the animals are beautiful and you can get some lovely pictures.
They also offer Photography Days, where you are able to get up close to the animals .also they do Photography workshops that are by external organizations who provide expert guidance on improving and perfecting your photography.

We had such an amazing day, and Gabriella enjoyed herself, there are lots of things to interact with and talks to listen to, defiantly worth a visit.
We would like to say a big thank you to The British Wildlife Centre for letting us come along to visit and to share with others what to expect before their visit. Hope you enjoyed watching and don't forget if there is somewhere that you would like to visit but not sure what to expect please contact me and I'll see if it's a visit we can do!
