- Reptile House – A curated collection of exotic snakes and lizards for budding herpetologists.
- Sheriff’s Falconry – Catch impressive birds of prey displays throughout the day (check times on arrival).

⭐ Our Review: A Top Pick for Under-12s
“We found Wheelgate Park to be excellent value for money. The mix of the Black Diamond Mining zone for active play and the Tropical Zone for indoor slides meant the kids were engaged all day. It’s particularly well-suited for toddlers and primary-aged children.”
