How do I get to/leave the Park when roads are closed?
You can access the Wildlife Park car park with a vehicle by using the old railway line from the Ballacrye road. A temporary sign will mark the access route on the Ballacrye road - please use this track carefully and drive slowly as you may encounter traffic or people coming the other way.
Can I get to the Wildlife Park by bus?
Yes but its not straight forward as they only stop in one direction during racing periods
During the race period once course is set up Bus Services Do not serve the Shelter at the Wildlife Park - Buses Travelling to Ramsey Stop at the car park Entrance.

From this direction you need to get the bus to Ballaugh and cross over the road or walk to Sulby (its about a 10 minute walk and may not be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues)
