ANNOUNCING AND CELEBRATING OUR BEST YEAR EVER!!

The Team at Seaview Wildlife Encounter (previously Flamingo Park) are very proud to announce that 2010 has been our best year ever in the 39 years since we opened in 1971!!

We have recorded the highest number of visitors to the Park and the most amount of positive feedback from the visiting public remarking on our consistently high standards (referring to our animal husbandry, customer service, park grounds, cleanliness, excellent choice of gifts as well as our delicious and well-priced food). This has all resulted in the Park being described as the “best day out on the Isle of Wight” and as being one of the "best hands-on wildlife visitor attractions" in the United Kingdom.

We are celebrating the positive energy of the whole Team that has contributed towards this success, and recognise the effort and input of every single individual. Each employee has truly grasped the excitement of striving for excellence. High standards have been achieved and maintained in all areas of the business.

Thank you to all our visitors – especially those who return on a regular basis to experience and enjoy their own wildlife adventure here with us. It seems that whether our guests actively participate in the daily schedule of wildlife talks and events (including stroking the Wallabies and helping feed the Penguins) or choose to escape to the tranquility of the Tropical House, or the lower lake - there is something here that touches the heart of everyone who visits.

Taken earlier today in our Lesser Flamingo enclosure, this image gives a taste of why Seaview Wildlife is becoming known as the Isle of Wight’s most precious hidden gem.

The autumn-coloured leaves reflecting in the pond are particularly beautiful at this time of year.

Despite the tranquil setting here, and the fact that our season closes at the end of October, there’s SO much going on behind the scenes! There’s an ongoing whirlwind of energy in planning, managing and implementing whatever needs to be done on a daily, weekly and monthly basis to lift the Park to even higher levels of excellence.
