Why it's Wildland
4.7An all-weather animal park on the Isle of Wight, with a rainforest-themed indoor walk-through and a collection described by sources as including more than 200 animal species.
Amazon World earns its place for the chance to explore tropical-themed animal habitats and encounter wildlife such as sloths, lemurs and red pandas in one visit. It is a managed attraction rather than a wild landscape, but its animal-focused exploration and conservation messaging give it a distinctive nature-led day out.
