Welcome Picture of Fota Wildlife Park

A trip to Fota Wildlife Park, one of Europe's most modern wildlife parks, is thoroughly enjoyable as well as being educational too! Spread out over 70 acres of vast countryside, you can see over 70 different types of species that thrive in its free-range environment.
Conservation of these species is Fota’s main aim and to do this they ensure that the animals are fed a very special diet that suits their needs.
There's something for all the family at Fota! For the kids there are a variety of free playgrounds and special kids days are held throughout the year! For everyone else there are guided tours of the park, restaurants, designated picnic areas and shops! Not forgetting the budding zoologist among you, there are a number of education programmes running for you to partake in! And just beside the park you'll find Fota Arboretum, which boasts a collection of trees and shrubs from different countries all around the world.
