Curraghs Wildlife Park on the Isle of Man was opened in 1965 and has over 50 acres; 26 acres with large open walk-through enclosures, some smaller constructed enclosures, play areas, a cafe and a shop. The rest of the park is a nature reserve with a wooden walkway.
The site is a ‘Ramsar’ site, which means it is internationally recognised as a wetland of scientific interest. The park has nearly 400 animals and nearly 100 species, with many EEP and ESB species.
Waterfowl and bird species are numerous in the collection due to the suitability of the natural landscape, but there are also Humboldt penguins, spider monkeys, crab-eating macaques, elk and tapir.
