About this event
Get ready for the biggest day of our Safari in the City summer adventure!
On Saturday 1 August, Midsummer Place will come alive with a packed programme of free family entertainment, bringing the sights, sounds and excitement of the animal kingdom right into the heart of Milton Keynes.
Expect to see the animal kingdom come to life through stunning animatronic creatures, playful puppetry and loveable, slightly nutty, rangers! There will be plenty of wild encounters, interactive fun and surprises throughout the day for little explorers and the whole family to enjoy.
You can also join the team from Woburn Safari Park for interactive sensory workshops between 11am and 4pm, designed to inspire the next generation of animal lovers and conservationists. Find out more about the Woburn Safari Park workshops here.
