Always wanted to adopt a dolphin, but not sure your bath’s going to be big enough? Here’s the good news: thanks to Wish.co.uk, you can adopt any number of crazy creatures, and you don’t even have to muck them out!

Choose an official WWF adoption pack and support the work of this important charity: choose the dolphin, tiger, polar bear, orang-utan or panda, and you’ll even get a free cuddly toy. If you just love majestic birds of prey, pick up a falconry voucher and enjoy learning to fly all manner of stunning birds with the help of an experienced handler.

Give your kids a taste of the Wild West as they learn to ride and lasso at an equestrian centre in Hampshire: the experience includes lunch for the kids and a full hour’s riding, and parents can hang around and watch. We also have a range of experiences for lovers of tigers, whales, horses, meerkats and lions, including a chance to feed big cats at the Paradise Wildlife Park in Hertfordshire.

There’s no better way to get up-close and personal with these fabulous creatures: the voucher price includes entry to the park so you can explore all day!
