Staff at West Midland Safari Park are once again getting ready to open the attraction after the second lockdown.

Initially, the Park will open its four-mile Safari Drive-Through from Saturday 5th December to guests for a discounted rate of £15 per person. This will be available on selected dates before the Park looks forward to opening its walk through areas including Land of The Living Dinosaurs from the 12th December until the 23rd.

All the existing safety measures will be in place to ensure guests have a safe and enjoyable day out.

Due to strict social distancing measures, the Park last week cancelled its Santa Safari events, but the Park does hope to bring a little festive cheer to those who visit in December.

Managing Director of the Park, Chris Kelly, said: "We are breathing a sigh of relief here as we can reopen again and celebrate the festive season with our guests. It's going to be a difficult winter for us, especially as we're unable to offer our popular Christmas experience. It's been a really challenging year and this is not the end of 2020 we were hoping for, but we will make the best of it."

"We had a huge amount of support from the public over the summer and we implore them to do the same this December. We can't do this without them, and besides, we love seeing families and friends enjoying themselves here. It's the heart and soul of the Park.

"Our baby Indian rhino, Inesh, who was born in September is doing really well and we can't wait for guests to see him out on Safari. He is such a joy to watch with his mum Seto. All the other animals and our staff are looking forward to welcoming our guests back."

Tickets are on sale now from the Park's website www.wmsp.co.uk.
