Highlights
  • BC Wildlife Park - Your BC Wildlife Park experience begins with complimentary parking, or, you can arrive to the front door by city transit. Present your voucher for admission at our Guest Services counter and pick up a beverage and a snack at our Blue Heron Café to enjoy during your leisurely self guided tour of the Park. To ease any mobility concerns you can rent a stroller or wagon, or borrow a wheelchair. Enjoy complimentary wi-fi in our Discovery Centre and make sure you check out our daily activities listing to plan your day before heading outside!

Once inside the Park many of our guests head to the Grizzly Bear enclosure, which is often one of our scheduled feed talks, allowing our guests to learn about our rescued bears’ story and behaviours, and ask an animal keeper questions. Continue exploring and say hi to many more species until you arrive at the Wildlife Express train; enjoy a mini train ride throughout the BC Wildlife Park, allowing you to view our animals from unwalkable areas.

After your short rest, head to the splash park and playground, or the Home Hardware family farm to meet some of our goats and sheep up close. Continue past the family farm and say hi to Clover, the only Kermode bear in human care in the world!

On your way back you’ll meet even more of British Columbia’s wildlife including black bears, wolves, and cougars! Finish your visit to the BC Wildlife Park with a unique souvenir from the Naturally Yours Gift Shop, where your purchase helps us continue to help British Columbia’s wildlife.

Additional Information

The BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops came to life in 1965 and continues to evolve as a Wildlife Park that showcases the Wildlife of British Columbia and is one of the few Wildlife Rehabilitation Centres in British Columbia. The BC Wildlife Park has 209 animals, including the only Kermode Bear in human care in the world. The BC Wildlife Park’s animals have found their way to us because they were either orphaned, born in another CAZA accredited facility or were brought to our Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre and their injuries have prevented them from being released back into the wild.

The BC Wildlife Park offers many engaging activities that we encourage everyone to enjoy, including feed talks, Bird of Prey shows, a splash park and playground, and the Wildlife Express train.

Each visitor to the Park helps our non profit society support the rescue and rehabilitation of British Columbia’s animals.

  • Children must be accompanied by an adult
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately

A great half day - Even though we didn't manage to see all the animals we had a great morning there. The big animal enclosures give the animals plenty of variety and enrichment. It's great also to see the history of many of them and see that they have been rescued after injuries, treated and given a chance for a longer life. A full morning is just about enough to get round everything. A worthwhile visit for all ages.

Exceptional. - This is an exceptional facility. We finally took our 7 year old Canadian grandson to see it after falling in love with the animals 4 years ago. Not only are there a wide variety of creatures but it is very natural. We fell in love with Knute and Dawson the sibling Grizzly Bears last visit and loved seeing them again, they are special, but the Birds of Prey are amazing. The Eagles put on an unbelievable display. Talking to each other and walking around. Amusingly Bob the 3 legged Bobcat (still there) won the heart of a little boy.

Awesome! - I was blown away at how well maintained this park is. The staff were friendly and the facilities were immaculate. We saw most of the animals on our tour. The paths and landscaping are very well kept. I suggest packing a lunch and spending some time with littles at the playgrounds. The train was closed this visit but the tracks run all over the park. Simply fantastic!!

Good way to spend an afternoon with my grandchildren ~ - Very clean, well maintained and easy to navigate. The birds were interesting. This is a nice place for your children and grandchildren to look at the animals. I would return ~

Kind of disappointing - Unfortunately the fires burning everywhere filled the air at the park with a white hazy smoke. Because of this, there were very few animals outside to see. But I do appreciate all the work involved in caring for these precious animals.

Waste of money. Disappointing. - Exoensive, food is not up to par with prices. Caesar Salad with its " homemade dressing" was terrible. The dressing had no taste at all. 2 thin small croutons, and capers. Very little parmesean cheese. Nobody else was happy with their meals either. The restaurant itself has a terrible smell, like old grease. And it was hot inside. I will never go again and I totally do not recommend it at all.
