Sandown offers a lot to enjoy to guarantee a leisurely time for all ages.
The Isle of Wight Zoo is dedicated to the largest collection of tigers in addition to leopards, lemurs, jaguars and snakes. View the Tiger Sanctuary, Lemurland or Nature’s Nightmare during your visit, the natural enclosure for animals displaying their natural behaviour.
Sandown is an important site for dinosaur remains in the country. Many fossils and life size reconstructions are on display at The Dinosaur Isle, a dinosaur museum and a visitor centre.
The Alverstone Mead Local Nature Reserve is popular for bird watching.
The woodlands of Borthwood and Bluebells ensure scenic beauty for visitors. You can also take ‘The Sandown Bay Tour’ in the summer.
Sandown Castle, which once existed on the Sandham Grounds public park between Culver Parade and Fort Street, has been eroded and demolished but the remains of the castle are still visible during low tide.
