Highland Wildlife
Park voted the best day out in
Scotland
RZSS Highland
Wildlife Park has been named by the public as the ‘Best Day Out’ in Scotland at
the 2017 Scottish Hospitality Awards.
The second Scottish
Hospitality Awards were held on the evening of 26 June at the Crowne Plaza, Glasgow, with
members of the RZSS Highland Wildlife Park team in attendance to receive the
award. The award recognises and rewards those within the hospitality industry
that work hard to give their customers the very best experience.
Daska Mackintosh,
Head of Operations and Visitors Services at RZSS Highland Wildlife Park, said:
“We are thrilled to
have been voted the Best Day Out in Scotland by the public at the Scottish
Hospitality Awards. It is another great achievement for RZSS Highland Wildlife
Park, building on a very successful year.
“With many of our
endangered species giving birth and a record number of visitors, there has been
lots to celebrate. It’s fantastic to
have our team’s hard work recognised on a national level and to highlight the
Park as a wonderful day out.”
RZSS Highland
Wildlife Park has been open to visitors for over 40 years, having been
established in 1976. Based in the spectacular setting of the Cairngorms
National Park, it is home to over 200 rare and endangered animals, some of
which you cannot see anywhere else in Scotland. RZSS Highland Wildlife Park
welcomed over 136,000 guests last year to view some of the world’s rarest and
most endangered animals in naturalistic enclosures.
The Park excels in
bringing visitors closer to nature, by creating a raw and authentic Highland
adventure. These amazing, close-up animal encounters, together with talk
programmes and animal feeds hosted by the Park’s expert keepers, give our
visitors the opportunity to engage with the world of animals in a completely
unique way. From amazing Amur tigers to playful polar bears, the site cares for
many threatened species and provides a visitor experience which truly inspires.
RZSS Highland
Wildlife Park is owned by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. RZSS is one
of Scotland’s leading conservation charities, working both here in Scotland and
in over 20 countries around the world. Our mission is to connect people with
nature and safeguarding threatened species.
