About Highland Wildlife Park
Highland Wildlife Park
Nestled in the breathtaking expanse of the Cairngorms National Park near Kingussie, the Highland Wildlife Park offers a truly unique adventure for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Managed by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, this 260-acre haven brings the wilds of the world’s coldest regions to the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

Begin your journey with the thrilling drive-through reserve, where majestic bison, red deer, and wild horses roam freely against a backdrop of sweeping Highland vistas. Continue on foot to explore immersive enclosures housing Scotland’s only polar bears, stealthy snow leopards, playful Japanese macaques, and the critically endangered Scottish wildcat. Daily ranger talks and feeding sessions offer fascinating insights into these remarkable animals, while interactive exhibits at the Scotland’s Wildlife Discovery Centre bring to life the critical conservation work happening both locally and worldwide.
With its innovative habitats, scenic trails, and family-friendly activities, the Highland Wildlife Park is more than a zoo—it’s a living celebration of the resilience and diversity of life in the world’s most challenging climates. Open year-round, it promises an unforgettable day out where education meets adventure, all set amidst the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
