It's strange having the luxury of being able to spend time together, we both work such hectic jobs that when we do finally get a day off together we like to do something memorable. Since I was a little'un The New Forest Wildlife Park has been one of my favourite days out so we decided whilst the sun was out to pack a picnic and head on over. The Park is nestled on the edge of the forest, a stones throw from Southampton and is home to a range of wildlife, in lovely spacious enclosures. The New Forest Wildlife Park is home to 4 species of otter; the eurasian (that's our native otter & my favourite), the Asain short claw, Norther American River & the South American giant otter. They also have a pack of wolves, some lynx, 12 species of owl and a wonderful warm and humid butterfly house, which made me feel like I was back in Iguassu (definitely click that link if you love butterflies!). We spent the day wondering around, watching the animals & I took front row seats by the otters and watched them play with stones for most of the afternoon. They've also recently built a huge play area for grownups ,and a little one for toddlers, which we simply couldn't say no too. I also took a brief moment to try my attempt at being a fashion blogger, what do you think?! I'm going with stick to the day job.
Have you been to The New Forest Wildlife Park before?
