ANIMAL Park has captivated audiences since 2000.
But some fans may wonder where the BBC show is filmed and if they can visit the park themselves.
Where is Animal Park filmed?
The BBC show is primarily filmed at the Longleat Estate in Warminster, Wiltshire and focuses on the lives of the keepers and animals at the park.
The show also follows efforts to preserve and protect the historic Longleat House, which is owned by Ceawlin Thynn, the 8th Marquess of Bath.
Ceawlin's father, the eccentric Alexander Thynn, regularly appeared on the show up until his death in April, 2020.

However, some spin-offs of the programme have headed to more tropical destinations.
2005's Animal Park: Wild In Africa saw the crew jet off to Namibia, coming face to face with dangerous animals in the wild.
Two years later, Animal Park: Wild On The West Coast, which was set in California, US, was aired on BBC Two.
Can I visit any of the filming locations?
Visitors have been able to explore Longleat House and its surrounding grounds since 1949.
The Safari Park itself opened in 1966, and at the time it was the first drive-through experience of its kind outside of Africa.
There are several different areas of attraction on offer, including a boat safari, where visitors can cruise past the Gorilla Colony and try to spot the resident hippos.
Park explorers can also let off some steam and soak up the location's scenic views by taking a seat on the Longleat railway, which travels through some of the area's woodland.
The park is open every day from 10am including bank holidays, however, closing times vary depending on when you visit.
Day tickets are priced at £39.95 for an adult and £29.95 for children aged between three and 15 years old.
How can I watch Animal Park?
You can watch Animal Park BBC iPlayer - including last years Summer and Christmas series.
