About Woburn Safari Park

Woburn Safari Park is to be found in 3000 glorious acres of deer park at Woburn, Bedfordshire, close to another wonderful family attraction, Woburn Abbey stately home. After the Second World War, the 11th Duke of Bedford, President of the Zoological Society, introduced bison, Muntjac, Waipiti, Antelope, Lion and Tiger to the estate, and Woburn Safari Park was opened to the public by the 13th Duke of Bedford in 1970. Ticket holders can drive past numerous naturalistic animal enclosures as part of a fascinating family day out at one of the country’s leading conservation parks, which was the first ‘captive’ breeding facility to rescue a species from extinction in the wild – the Pere David deer.
