Are you disabled Access?

Can we touch the animals?

We have a fully disabled access tearoom and toilets. However, due to costs we are currently saving for a lift that will allow full disabled access to our animals. Disabled parking is available and is located close to the front entrance on the concreted area.

One World...Love It

Animal meet and greet sessions are available daily and are supervised by an animal keeper. The animals that take part may vary due to us having a strict "rest day" policy for our residents to prevent them becoming stressed. Daily meet and greet events are listed on the board in the tearoom by the entry doors on the day of your visit.

Please Note: Not all of our animals can be touched, those that can will be brought out by a keeper.

How dO I book a group or school visit?

Yes! We have a free car park at the centre for visitors.

We are an environmentally friendly establishment so if at all possible please car share and use Orkney's public transport wherever possible. We are only a short walk from Tingwall Ferry where buses run regularly from Kirkwall and Stromness.

Please note: Owners park their cars at their own risk and Fernvalley Wildlife Centre holds no responsability to loss or damage of vehicle or contents.
