New capybara enclosure opens at Jungle Kingdom, Knockhatch Adventure Park
Visitors to Knockhatch Adventure Park can now enjoy an exciting new addition to its popular Jungle Kingdom attraction, as a brand-new capybara enclosure officially opened on Thursday.
The enclosure, designed to provide a spacious and enriching environment for the world’s largest rodents, marks the latest enhancement to the park’s growing collection of animal experiences. The opening ceremony was led by Cllr Dan Dunbar, Mayor of Polegate, who praised the park’s continued commitment to improving its visitor offering.


Speaking at the launch, Mayor Dunbar said:
“It was a great pleasure to be back at Knockhatch once more to see how the team are continuing to enhance their offering for the pleasure and enjoyment of local families and visitors.”


The capybara enclosure has been carefully developed to reflect the animals’ natural habitat, featuring water areas, shelter, and plenty of space to roam giving guests a closer look at these gentle and social creatures.
Jungle Kingdom remains one of the park’s most popular attractions, and the addition of capybaras is expected to further delight visitors of all ages. The new enclosure forms part of Knockhatch Adventure Park’s ongoing investment in education and family-friendly experiences.
