We actually went on a 'meet the meerkats' experience rather than foxes, but no drop down for that. It was much better than what I was expecting, with the meerkats actually climbing all over you, trying to dig into my coat, and settling on my lap. I learnt a lot, and I'm really impressed with the work Ark do looking after these animals.

We went there for my Birthday. We had booked a fox experience. Upon getting there we booked for the meerkat experience. Both experiences were wonderful. All the staff were so knowledgeable, so friendly. Everything was wonderful even the sun came out. Fantastic place 💕

Had a really nice day here. Was wonderful to meet two of the foxes on the encounter experience and it was very informative and we also got to feed them. The lady who did our encounter you could clearly tell she loved her job and the animals. Had a lovely day, all in all the animals are well cared for and if you go in the cafe look out for there amazing cakes!

Brilliant experience with lovely and caring staff. The keepers truly care about the animals. Definitely recommended.

Foxes are ever so friendly and SO fluffy, it was nice to feed them and pet them for a bit while the keeper told us a bit more about the species and were these ones come from and how they ended up at the rescue centre. Park/rescue centre has some very muddy sections as it is a working facility, they do provide wellies but I would take some walking boots or something with you as well just in case they don't match your size. Lots of animals around the rescue centre to see and when we went there, it was only myself and my other half in the place. I think another family turned up at some point but it was so quiet we got to see all the animals around the place without hassle. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, definitely recommend a trip.

The fox encounter at Ark Wildlife Park was a wonderful experience. We travelled over from the York area, and despite a long drive it was an easy one. From first entering the park the staff were very helpful and friendly. We arrived a couple of hours early to look around before our encounter (park entry is included with the encounter). It was really nice to see all of the different animals with some of our favourites being the meerkats and the pig. All of the animals in the park are rescues, mostly from the pet trade, and people who did not know how to look after them properly. Reading about their starts in life is really eye opening, but it is lovely to see how well looked after, and adored they are by the staff. After looking around we had some food in the cafe whilst we waited for our encounter. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. The cafe had a small menu with sandwiches and toasties, and there were also some cakes and sausage rolls on offer. There were also a few picnic benches around the park if you wanted to take your own food with you. We started our fox encounter by making up some treat boxes for them. We met Dexter and Lana, both beautiful foxes with very different personalities. Dexter loved a fuss and sat by us the whole time watching whilst the keeper told us all about the foxes, the trade of foxes in the UK and, the circumstances behind how these foxes came to be at the park. Lana spent this time running around excited for her snack. The keeper was very informative and answered all of our questions. She was very passionate about the foxes and the work that they are doing at the park to rescue and protect all of these animals. She was very respectful of the foxes and, explained that everything is done at their pace. They are never forced to do anything they don’t want to do. Both my partner and I got to stroke and fuss Dexter, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. We had a lovely time watching them rummage through the boxes we made up for them, looking for the insects, and the whole experience was really heartwarming. All in all, we had an amazing day out which really made an impact on both my partner and I. We have already discussed going back again in the future for one of the other animal encounters. As a side note, due to the recent weather, the ground in some areas was quite muddy so remember to wear your boots or wellies. However, if you do forget they have a range of wellies from kids sizes to adults that can be borrowed whilst in the park.

To experience was amazing but DO NOT BOOK THROUGH VIATOR, they literally double the price from if you are doing it through the company. Other than that the staff are friendly and informative and the foxes are very cute.
