COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED!
Fota Wildlife Park and RTÉjr are giving you and your family the chance to go for a walk on the wild side. Win one of THREE Family Passes to this amazing island.
Fota Wildlife Park, part of the Zoological Society of Ireland, is set on 100 acres on the scenic Fota Island in the heart of Cork Harbour and its vision is to inspire people to understand and conserve the biodiversity of our natural world.
Fota Wildlife Park is a unique place where you can come face to face with free roaming animals and birds from different parts of the world.
So, if it's a kangaroo that hops in front of you, or a ring-tailed lemur, which jumps down from a tree, each visit is sure to bring its own fantastic memories. Fota Wildlife Park features the recently opened Asian Sanctuary with Asian lions, Sumatran tigers, Indian rhino, Warty pigs, Visayan spotted deer, Lion-tailed macaques and Red panda.
The development of the Asian Sanctuary over the past six years has enhanced the Park as an iconic international visitor attraction as well as serving the core values of conservation, education, and research.
Fota Wildlife Park cares for several different animal species in danger of extinction. Through long-established breeding programmes, which are run cooperatively with other institutions around the world, the Park is helping restore populations of some species while protecting the very survival of others. As a non-profit organisation, the continued work of the Park is not possible without fund raising, membership fees and gate receipts.
As part of Fota’s commitment to the continued well-being of their visitors, team members and the animals in their care, they have implemented enhanced protocols and procedures since re-opening to the public on 20th May 2020.
All visitors must book a date and time slot in advance at wwww.fotawildlife.ie and other measures have been introduced such as a one-way walking experience that reinforces social distancing, closure of certain indoor areas such as the Tropical House and the suspension of activities that may encourage people to gather, such as feeding times, tour train and playgrounds.
Please see their social media and the website for the latest details and to book http://www.fotawildlife.ie.
