Wildheart Animal Sanctuary

The multi-award winning Wildheart Animal Sanctuary on the Isle of Wight is the ideal destination for your next group or coach trip. Located in sunny Sandown and just a stone’s throw from one of the Island’s most stunning beaches, we offer the perfect setting for an unforgettable day. Bring your coach or group to meet over 70 different rescued animals, including lions, tigers, bears, monkeys and more, all with incredible stories to tell.

We are dedicated to providing forever homes for animals that have been rescued from horrendous conditions around Europe. We achieve this by offering them refuge and the chance to flourish at our Sanctuary. In recent years, we have provided forever homes to a number of rescued animals, including two lions given up by a circus in Spain, two tigers found in awful conditions on the Belarussian border, and two bears who spent the first part of their lives living at the side of a restaurant in Azerbaijan. For an even more immersive experience, let one of our expert animal educators guide you on a fascinating tour of the Sanctuary. Take some time out during your visit with us to relax with some coffee and cake in our award winning Wildheart Cafe, with a terrace that overlooks the stunning Sandown Bay.

FREE coach parking. FREE entry to the Sanctuary for coach driver and tour leader. FREE unlimited refreshments for coach driver and tour leader. We’ve got everything you need for a truly magical outing!
