Beale Park is an outdoor wildlife park in Berkshire with loads of fun play areas. We’ve been visiting Beale Park ever since Ashley could walk as it’s brilliant for toddlers!

Recently they’ve been added even more attractions and animals to the park so it’s now even better.

Plus tiny piglets, puppies, chicks and a foal that was only a few days old.
