What visitors say
It was a wonderful day spent with my child. There were lots of animals and attractions to enjoy. The staff were friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The animals were beautiful and very well cared for. There were also barrel rides, a mini train ride, and playgrounds for children. We spent 6 hours there and had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend a visit.

Great day out with our granddaughter age 4. It's a marvellous place for children with so many activities, including a large variety of animals, a good playpark, zip line, and enormous bouncing surface called the llamas pillow. Bags of feed for the animals can be purchased when you book tickets, and there were great activities in the animal barn all day where the children can get close up to the small furry animals. The pig race was a hoot! Covered eating area for picnics or purchased food. Mini train and barrell rides. We spent 6 and half hours there, and our granddaughter never stopped enjoying herself . Definitely take her there again.

This place is fantastic. I went with just my sister and no kids as ours are all grown up, and we enjoyed it as much as the families there. Everything is so well organised and surprisingly clean. The food and drinks were nice and you could tell all the animals were well looked after and had everything tailored to their need's.The staff there were happy and truly cared for all the animals. As a day out, I would definitely recommend it, with or without kids. And although I haven't uploaded the piglet snuggling photos yet believe me that that is the icing on the cake. I will certainly be returning.

Amazing day today! So much to do. My 3 year old daughter loved the play park and the go kart type cars going round the track. We fed the animals and ate at the food court - food was lovely! We were there 2.5 hours and still didn’t get chance to do everything - so there’s always plenty to do. We can’t wait to go back!
