Our History
Secret Valley Wildlife Park is the only fully licensed zoo and Wildlife Park in the South East. Ann OâConnor set up the original farm in 2007 and it has since grown from strength to strength.
Since then, it has flourished, driven by Ann and her teamâs heartfelt passion for caring for the animals and providing visitors with a personal, wholesome, and educational experience.
Secret Valley is a BIAZA wildlife park committed to giving animals from compromised backgrounds a second chance at life. We care for ex-laboratory animals, former pets, and those who have faced difficult beginnings. While they have had a poor past, we use these experiences to educate our visitors about important issues, such as the challenges of the pet trade and how we can all make a positive difference. We see it as offering them a âhappyâ retirement home where each individual animal becomes part of our animal care teamâs family. Every visit supports our park, and helps us continue this vital work.
