Have you been to Longleat Safari Park? If the answer is no, this is one you need to add to your list and go to. Absolutely incredible! We couldn’t do everything. Longleat is perfect for literally every single age. If we had to pick our three top faves of the day, it would be The Illuminations trail, the Children’s Explorer Garden and the laser show.

Land of Light is Longleat’s 2020s winter illumination festival. It is brand NEW for this year! What incredible light installations!

There are seventeen unique zones across Longleat. Avery and Levi loved the motion-detected splashes of playful colour and movement. It’s the perfect immersive experience for children and adults. The combination of light and sound is the ideal sensory delight!

Due to COVID-19, Longleat could not run their annual Festival of Light this year; hence the Land of Light- The winter lantern spectacular will be returning to the Estate in 2021. I can only imagine how incredible this one will be. Unfortunately, I could not show you EVERYTHING in my stories as we would be here all day. But here is what you have waiting for you:

• The Laser Show at The Longhouse
• Festive Food, Drink and Gift Huts pop-ups
• Winter Safari Drive-Through and the walkthrough areas
• Santa Train
• Santa Storytelling where each child receives a gift from Santa
• Koala Creek
• Animal Adventure (Petting Zoo) (Due to COVID-19, the Animal Handling Hall remains closed; however, the rest of Animal
• Adventure is open to view)
• Jungle Kingdom (Exotic Animal Experience)
• Family Farmyard
• Rockin Rhino (You must be a min 110cm tall to ride unaccompanied / 90 to 110cm tall may ride with a supervising adult.
• Avery is 89.5 cm so could not ride)
• Jungle Cruise (Fish to feed the sea lions is not available at the moment but instead the keepers feed the sea lions for you to see)
• Adventure Castle Playground (Soft play remain closed for the time being.)
• Little Explorer Garden (Under 5s)
• The Hedge Maze is included in the ticket, you will need to book a time to visit this on the day. However, it is not accessible to pushchairs and wheelchair
• The grounds and gardens
