Step into a world of exotic wildlife, lush habitats, and global adventure at Amazon World Zoo Park, one of the Isle of Wight’s most unique and fascinating family attractions. Home to an extraordinary collection of rare and unusual animals from across the globe, the park offers an immersive experience that blends conservation, education, and unforgettable close-up encounters.

From the moment you enter the tropical walkthrough, you’re transported into a vibrant rainforest environment filled with the sounds and colours of the Amazon. Wander along winding indoor pathways beneath towering foliage as sloths relax overhead, brightly coloured parrots call from the treetops, and curious tamarins play among the branches. The humid warmth, natural planting, and realistic habitats create an atmosphere that feels like stepping straight into South America.

Beyond the rainforest dome, visitors can explore outdoor enclosures and themed zones featuring an impressive array of species—from giant anteaters and capybaras to owls, otters, lemurs, armadillos, and many more. Amazon World is known for housing some of the world’s most unusual creatures, offering a chance to see animals rarely found in UK collections. Each exhibit has been designed with animal welfare and conservation in mind, allowing guests to observe natural behaviours up close.

Daily talks and feeding sessions provide captivating insights into the lives of these incredible species, highlighting the importance of protecting fragile ecosystems and endangered wildlife. Children and adults alike will enjoy learning fun facts, watching the animals interact with their keepers, and discovering the stories behind the park’s vital conservation work.

For younger adventurers, the zoo includes dedicated play areas, interactive displays, and opportunities to get involved in wildlife-themed activities. The spacious layout makes it easy for families to explore at their own pace, whether you’re watching flamingos wade through shimmering pools or marvelling at the scale of giant tortoises basking in the sun.

A well-stocked gift shop offers wildlife-inspired souvenirs, while the on-site café provides snacks and refreshments to keep you fuelled during your visit.
