OUTDOORS IN KENT
OPEN COME RAIN OR SHINE , THE AWARD-WINNING DRUSILLAS PARK IN EAST SUSSEX IS SENSATIONAL – REALLY GOOD FUN , EXPLORATIVE , AND EDUCATIONAL , IT ’ S A FULL DAY OUT FOR ALL THE FAMILY PACKED WITH INTERACTIVE AND EXPLORATIVE FUN FOR KIDS ( AND GROWNUPS TOO !) AND IS WIDELY REGARDED AS ONE OF THE COUNTRY ’ S BEST SMALL ZOOS .
With over 100 different animal species in naturalistic environments , there is plenty to fascinate everyone from the youngest to the oldest visitor . Animal attractions include the popular meerkats , where children can climb inside a dome to get really close , as well as penguins , red pandas , otters , beavers , gibbons , a range of monkeys and a walk-through bat enclosure among many others . Lemurland allows visitors to get right up close to a friendly group of ring-tailed lemurs , and you can watch many of the animals being fed at the keeper talks that run throughout the day .
Don ’ t miss Lory Landing , a walk-through aviary that offers visitors the opportunity to get up close and personal with a friendly flock of rainbow lorikeets : brightly coloured parrots native to Indonesia , Papua New Guinea and Australia .
Animals are only half the experience of a day at Drusillas , however . The brilliant play areas , including Go Wild ! and Go Bananas ! have masses of climbing , sliding , jumping and swinging fun , all separated simply for different age groups , and the newly renovated interactive maze , Mungo ’ s Adventure Maze , channels visitors ’ inner Indiana
Jones to solve cryptic clues in the hunt for hidden treasure . Watch out for the animatronic velociraptor dinosaur hidden deep in the heart of the maze who guards the golden egg !
Indoors , there ’ s Amazon Adventure , a state-ofthe-art soft play complex , and running the perimeter of the park , the Safari Express train offers unlimited rides transporting adventurous passengers deep into the heart of the zoo . Don ’ t forget to pack your swimmers too , Get Wet ! is the ultimate splash pad experience and a taste of the tropics for children of all ages as they dodge the flower fountains , weave past the wavy palm trees and become completely immersed in the fun .
There is always something new to see and do at Drusillas Park and this year is no exception . Brand new for 2022 , and harnessing the very latest in immersive technology , SPARK is the UK ’ s first and only fully interactive play experience of its size . Extensive 360 ° projection software transforms an ordinary space into an extraordinary world , offering a highly unique , sensory experience where little eyes marvel in wonder as they discover a magical world where reality and technology collide .
In an explosion of colour and light , walls , floors and little minds come alive as you manipulate imagery and interact with wild animals on an augmented reality journey that truly illuminates the senses . Explore the vibrant jungle walls , touch and play with the wondrous watery floors , slide into a magical seabed , visit the plains of Africa , and get lost in the enchanted forest . Drusillas have invested half a million pounds into this state-of-the-art attraction and , with bespoke play experiences that no attraction has ever had and an incredible nine individual interactives , it really is extraordinary .
