Posting on Facebook, the popular wildlife park said their online booking system was experiencing technical difficulties due to high levels of activity.

“Our online booking system is currently experiencing delays due to high levels of activity.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.” 

Cork’s 100-acre wildlife Park is reopening on Monday, April 26, with attendance capped at 500 people in three time slots, spread across the day.
