MAKE YOUR SUMMER TRULY WILD WITH A VISIT TO DRUSILLAS PARK.
THE AWARD-WINNING ZOO IN EAST SUSSEX HAS SOMETHING FOR ALL
THE FAMILY, WITH BRAND NEW RIDES, AMAZING ANIMALS, ADVENTURE
PLAY AREAS AND THE CHANCE TO MEET SOME OF TELEVISION’S MOST

Prepare your little explorers for the ultimate
African experience with Go Safari! The three-
ride attraction is sure to be a thrill for children
of all ages. Take flight upon the back of the
fastest land mammal with the exciting new
Flying Cheetah ride, buckle up and soar into
the skies on the mighty Hippopotobus, or
climb aboard the Safari Express train and take
a wild journey deep into the heart of the zoo.
Look out for Snigger and Sneer, the laughing
hyenas, and Majesty, the fearsome lion as you
chug along the Safari Express track. If you’re
really lucky you might even spot a rhino
