Set on 100 acres on the scenic Fota Island in the heart of Cork Harbour, Fota Wildlife Park is a place where you can come face to face with free-roaming animals from all parts of the world.
If it’s a Kangaroo that hops in front of you, or a ring-tailed lemur, which jumps down from a tree, each visit is sure to bring its own fantastic memories. Featuring the Asian Sanctuary - with Asian lions, Sumatran tigers, and Indian rhinos.
The development of the Asian Sanctuary over the past eight years has enhanced the Park as an iconic international visitor attraction as well as serving the core values of conservation, education, and research. Fota Wildlife Park cares for several different animal species in danger of extinction. Through long-established Breeding programmes, which are run cooperatively with other institutions around the world, the Park is helping restore populations of some species while protecting the very survival of others.
Fota Wildlife Park opened to the public in June 1983 and recently celebrated four decades of Conservation in Action by completing the sustainably built, Education, Conservation and Research Centre, co-funded by the Government via the OPW.
