What else is on at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park?

Meet the Brazilian Tapir Cecil! 

Cecil is extremely friendly and gentle (an unusual trait for his species) Brazilian Tapir. He arrived at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park in 2015.

Help Cecil scrub up

With a Tapir experience, you'll go inside Cecil's custom-built enclosure to help the keeper feed and entertain this affectionate creature. You may also get the opportunity to give him a good brush and lather if he needs a bath! Cecil has a dry skin condition which means he needs extra care with medicated baths & regular brushing… which he adores!

Learn about Tapirs 

You’ll learn all about Tapirs like Cecil and can take photos to remember your unique experience at Lincolnshire Wildlife Park.

You'll get to take it all home in your unique photo presentation folder with a certificate memory of your close encounter. 

What's included 

Entry to Lincolnshire Wildlife Park Experiences, a 20 minutes behind the scenes tour and  talk from the keeper, the opportunity to hand-feed our friendly Tapir Cecil, an exclusive photo in our presentation folder to take home and a certificate memory of your close encounter.
