Half an hour meeting the capybaras in their own enclosure, between Cambridge and Royston, at a park that started life as a fish farm and became a rescue centre.
Scheduled experience slots. We could not confirm the current price or age limits from the park's own pages, so treat the details here as a starting point and check when you book.
Unconfirmed We could not fully confirm the details here. Treat everything as a lead and check the official site before you go.
Thirty minutes, in the enclosure, in a corner of Cambridgeshire.
A thirty-minute experience meeting the capybaras inside their own habitat rather than over a fence, at a small wildlife park between Royston and Cambridge. Shepreth is a rescue-led operation — a lot of its residents arrived because they needed somewhere to go — which shapes the tone of the place.
It is the same length as Hertfordshire Zoo's session and twice Wingham's, which puts three of the UK's six capybara experiences within an hour of each other in the same corner of England.
We have marked this one unverified on purpose. The 30-minute format is consistently reported, but we could not pull a current price or an age limit off the park's own pages, and we are not going to publish numbers we did not read at source.
Check both when you book. If you want a UK capybara experience with fully published pricing, Wingham and Wild Discovery both put their numbers on the page.
Details change – always confirm hours, prices, and booking on the official site before you travel. Animal encounters are subject to each venue's welfare rules.
