What visitors say
We had a fantastic family day out at Camperdown Wildlife Centre. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how well cared for and welcoming the centre is. The animals looked healthy and well looked after, and it was lovely to see them in such a clean and enjoyable environment. There was plenty to see for all ages, which made it a perfect family visit. The children loved getting up close to the animals, and it was a great chance for us all to enjoy time together outdoors. The setting within Camperdown Park makes it even better, with lots of space to walk and relax. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience felt relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish. A brilliant place for families, great value for money, and somewhere we would happily visit again. Highly recommended for a fun family day out. 5 stars.

I was fortunate enough to enjoy an experience with the bears and thoroughly enjoyed every second of my time there. The staff are wonderful, very knowledgeable and friendly. The bears, well what can I say, they are magnificent. So well mannered and delightful to be with. Love watching them wrestle and play with each other in their huge enclosure. I wonder what the people who built the massive walled garden would think if they knew it was home to bears and gibbons. ☺️

We were so very lucky to have met the zookeeper Katie. She knew every answer to every question about every animal I asked. Took her time and was happy to talk to us. She was lovely and very good at her job. Found the park a bit rundown. But good value for money. We were very lucky with the bears.
