Get ready for a summer of wild discovery as the ‘Tropical Treasures’ trail swings into play at the Tropical Butterfly House Wildlife Conservation Park in South Yorkshire throughout the school holidays, Saturday 18 July – Monday 31 August 2026.

It’s time to uncover all the hidden wonders of the rainforest and learn how to become a true champion for endangered species! Grab your ‘Tropical Treasures’ trail stamp book and follow the flutter, swing and squawk clues around the park to find all the rainforest friends. Help save nature’s treasures before they are lost forever by learning all about endangered species and their habitats on your way to becoming a conservation champion!

Don’t miss more tropical tales and tails during the daily ‘Animal Antics’ show featuring spectacular free-flying birds and amazing animals and find out how together, we can all help support these awesome animals in the wild. Enjoy incredible animal encounters and keeper talks where you can discover more about some of the park’s most vulnerable and endangered species. For an even closer connection with some of your favourite animals, purchase an animal feed bundle and enjoy bite-sized fun for everyone!*

Bring your own summer vibes – dress in your brightest tropical gear or channel your inner wild side as your favourite jungle-dwelling animal for a chance to win spot prizes! Enter the conservation creatives colouring competition, make your own conservation champion pledge and keep your eyes peeled for special prize-winning treasure maps scattered throughout the park!

Beyond the trail, there’s more to explore! Jump on board a tractor-trailer ride and brave the Dino Trail to hunt for fossils in the Dino Dig! Life’s a beach – kids can go wild in the playpark, sandpits and splash zone while parents can beat the summer heat and chill out with a deckchair or hammock in the stunning outdoor picnic areas and park cafés.

Take a breather at Lottie’s Coffee Lounge, with its ‘beautiful in bloom’ outdoor seating areas and dining pods – serving up refreshing summer coolers, matcha and iced coffees and picnic boxes as well as its menu of delicious hot and cold food and drinks or why not treat yourself to a scrumptious Afternoon Tea?
