West Midland Safari Park aims for resort status
As it celebrates its 40th anniversary, West Midland Safari and Leisure Park in the UK has unveiled redevelopment plans which it hopes will propel it from a three-star day attraction to a four-star resort of national significance.
The Worcestershire park has set out plans to create a 250-bed hotel, a conference centre for 1,000 delegates, an indoor waterpark, a rail halt and a monorail link. There will also be a multi-million pound upgrade of the safari drive.
The park currently welcomes 1.3million visitors a year, but it is hoped the redevelopment would attract thousands more. The attraction, which is home to the UK's only pride of white lions, has scored a number of firsts in its history, including the UK's first lemur walk-through exhibit and first drive through dhole, African wild dog and Indian rhino reserves.
