The facility is integrated into a multi-generational family farm that has been operating since the 1920s.
Millets Wildside maintains a focus on conservation education rather than being a large-scale commercial zoo.
The farm site itself spans over 300 acres of land in the Oxfordshire countryside.
The wildlife centre is designed to provide close-up viewing opportunities for children and families.
Millets Wildside is a zoo and wildlife attraction located within the larger Millets Farm Centre complex in Oxfordshire. The facility specializes in exotic species and small mammals, providing an educational environment for families. It houses a variety of animals, including meerkats, reptiles, and various bird species. The site is designed as an interactive experience where visitors can view wildlife in purpose-built enclosures. It operates as part of a larger agricultural and retail destination, which also includes farm shops and garden centers. The layout is compact and specifically tailored for shorter educational visits.
The meerkat enclosure offers the most active and accessible photo opportunities.
