Winter Illuminations at Yorkshire Wildlife Park
An after-dark illuminated trail of roughly 3km through the wildlife park, taking about ninety minutes to walk, with a new Polar Bear Express section for 2026. It is all outdoors and buggy-friendly along the surfaced route, and works well for mixed-age groups because there is a fairground and food stalls along the way. Book a timed slot in advance, and add daytime park entry if you also want to see the animals.
📅 14 Nov 2026 – 9 Jan 2027
📍 Hurst Lane, Auckley, Doncaster, South Yorkshire
