Mums Go Free on Mother's Day

We're bringing back our popular ‘Mums Go Free’ offer on Sunday 30th March 2025!  One parent visiting Howletts Wild Animal Park will enjoy FREE entry, per booking.

Rediscover the wild with a family day out at Kent’s original wild animal park this Mother's Day. Lose yourself in 90 acres of ancient parkland where you’ll discover some of the world’s most endangered animals, including the only elephants in the county.  Come face to face with gorillas, tigers and monkeys at their large viewing windows for the perfect selfie! For some really wild Mother's Day activities, check out our exciting animal encounters and come face to face with your favourite animals!

Alongside all the animal magic, you can explore Animals of the Ice Age. Walk amongst the ice giants and learn incredible facts, which tell the story of the animal kingdom as it was, over 2.6 million years ago. With amazing beasts along the trail, there will be plenty of surprises to keep kids and parents on the lookout.

Your ticket will help to fund not only the care of the animals here at Howletts Wild Animal Park but will also support the overseas work of our partner charity, The Aspinall Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of visitors like you, we - in conjunction with The Aspinall Foundation (charity number 326567) - have released more than 70 gorillas back to the wild and our released gorillas have had over 35 wild births! In Indonesia, we have released 49 Javan gibbons, 14 Javan grizzled langurs and 148 Javan ebony langurs. The Indonesian primates have over 40 wild births. We have also transferred 8 black rhino from our Kent parks to Africa, who have produced 25 offspring between them. Find out more about our conservation work around the world.
