I saw this place on a UA-cam video and the person who explored this kind of gave it away where it was on the island as it’s the only zoo that was actually abandoned so it wasn’t very hard to find it on any Internet information it was quite eerie and strange walking past all of the empty pens in cages that once hold very beautiful and acquire animals such as parrots peacocks penguins butterflies
History
The land off Oakhill Road in Seaview was initially purchased in 1961 by the founding Directors and business owners, Peter & Margaret Adams. The attraction, then known as Flamingo Park, opened its doors in 1971 and has traded ever since, undergoing a re-brand and re-naming to Seaview Wildlife Encounter in 2010.
Statement from the Owner:
It is with great sadness and regret that the family have decided after 44 years of being open to the public that an extremely difficult decision has been made to close the park. This is due to many internal and external factors - the seasonal nature of the business combined with intense legislation and regulation that we believe will only increase in the future. We hope that you will understand that it is time now for the family to bow out gently and to thank all of our wonderful visitors for their support over the years. A huge thanks to our amazing team - without you we could not have continued to have kept our beautiful park to the standard that it was today on our last day of being open. Please be assured that all the birds and animals will be top priority and the best possible homes will be sourced for them and of course the wonderful Dippy who we will endeavour to find the best retirement home for. We hope that we leave you with many happy memories and the family wish you all the very best for the future....

Seaview Wildlife Encounter on the outskirts of Ryde, once known as Flamingo Park, has closed its doors today (Sunday) after 44 years in business.
In a shock announcement, the Park has this evening said via Facebook that today was the last day of trading and the ‘difficult decision’ has been made due to many internal and external factors, including the seasonal nature of the business and the intense legislation and regulation.
