Online Booking Terms & Conditions
For a safe and enjoyable experience, we are limiting numbers and recommend that visits are pre-booked online to secure your place. And, tickets booked online are £1 less than our ‘on the door prices’. Pre-booking online applies to gift voucher and complimentary ticket holders.
NOTE: BWC Members, Essential Carers (with I.D.) and Under 3s are admitted free and do NOT need to pre-book online.
- Pre-book up to a day before a visit: Online tickets can be purchased up to 9am on the morning of the visit.
- Double check the details: Please check the chosen date and ticket types are correct prior to payment as TICKETS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE AND NON-TRANSFERABLE.
- Confirmation of your ticket purchase will be sent to your email address (please check it has been input correctly). Please bring a note of your booking reference and present it on arrival, or show it on your device screen.
- British Wildlife Centre Members do NOT need to pre-book online. Valid Membership cards must be presented at the Admissions Desk on arrival to gain entry to the Centre, otherwise an admission fee will be payable. Our Membership ‘Bring a Friend for Half Price’ benefit is now valid for adults and seniors only (not children). One guest per member, per visit. The Member’s guest does not need to be pre-booked in online, but payment (at half price) will be charged at admission on the day of the visit. If you have recently joined as a member but have not yet received your cards please quote your name and membership number (if you have been allocated one) as our admission staff will have a record of this.
- Membership that expired during temporary closure: annual membership expiring during the latest Covid-19 lockdown period will automatically be extended for a time equivalent to the duration of our temporary closure. Tickets will need to pre-booked using the membership ticket option and it would helpful if the expired cards could be presented on arrival.
