Explore ancient secrets in Dinosaur Forest, discover the myths and mysteries of the animal kingdom on safari and save over 50% with limited-time online family bundles. Visitors will also have the chance to win a car this Autumn!
Families are being invited to wrap up and step into the wild this October as Autumn Adventures brings a new season of exploration, mystery and discovery to Port Lympne Reserve.
Set across 600 acres of rolling Kent countryside, the Reserve will offer a full autumn day out combining encounters with more than 900 animals, its iconic truck safari, Dinosaur Forest and special seasonal activities – all against the backdrop of Port Lympne’s landscape as it changes colour for autumn.
At the heart of Autumn Adventures will be Dinosaur Forest, where families can venture beneath the autumn canopy and follow a special seasonal trail of tricks and truths.
Young explorers will be encouraged to search among the trees, uncover the hidden discoveries along the way and complete their adventure to claim a special reward. Dinosaur Forest is home to 91 life-size prehistoric creatures representing 62 species, making it an atmospheric setting for an autumn adventure.
The mystery continues aboard Port Lympne’s truck safari, which will take on a seasonal twist for October. As families journey through the Reserve, special commentary will explore remarkable stories inspired by animals, nature and folklore, separating wildlife fact from centuries-old tales and revealing some of the myths and mysteries that have surrounded the animal kingdom.
Seasonal daily talks will continue the storytelling around the Reserve, while autumnal food and drink will complete the experience.

Tony Kelly, Managing Director, Port Lympne Reserve said:
“Autumn is a wonderful time to experience Port Lympne. As the landscape changes with the season, there’s a real sense of adventure to wrapping up, heading outdoors and exploring the Reserve.
Autumn Adventures adds another layer of discovery to a family day out, from searching for hidden secrets beneath the trees of Dinosaur Forest to hearing some of the extraordinary stories, myths and folklore inspired by the animal world on safari.
With hundreds of acres to explore, incredible wildlife to encounter and limited-time online bundles offering exceptional value, we hope families will join us for a very different kind of autumn adventure this October.”
Port Lympne Reserve is a breeding sanctuary for rare and endangered animals and, wherever possible, aims to return animals born at the Reserve to protected areas of their natural habitat where they can live free.
