Fifteen minutes inside the capybara enclosure, exclusively — a maximum of two people per session, so it is not a group you are queuing behind. Four slots run daily at 10:00, 12:30, 14:30 and 15:45, and the price covers day entry to the rest of the park.

Minimum age five. It is outdoors and on uneven ground, so closed-toe shoes and full-length trousers are required and it is not wheelchair accessible. Dress for a field in Kent, because that is what it is.
Members get 10% off by booking on the phone or in person rather than online, which is worth knowing if you are local.
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.
