What a lovely visit I had at this zoo! I saw some really interesting animals, some of which I had never seen before, from all over the world. I really liked the talks they gave, particularly their emphasis on conservation work. The animals all seemed happy and well cared for. I was only disappointed that I didn't see the cheetah but that is because its enclosure is so big and filled with tall grass like it enjoys.

Took my students here as a thank you. Its well organised and gives the animals lots of space. Make sure you check out feeding times as this is the best opportunity to see the bears and the wolves. Very tranquil and feels much less like a zoo now they have more space for the animals to roam. The Gorillas where very entertaining and fun to observe. Great zoo, fantadtic space and the staff sre all very friendly and informative

Highly recommend. We went with our 16 year old son and he really enjoyed being able to see the bears, wolves and wolverines. We went in the summer holidays, it was busy however it didn't feel like it. Staff were all wonderful. It was also lovely going to an attraction that is fully acceptable.

I have been coming here since the Wild Place opened in 2014 as my kids when they were younger loved coming here for the outdoor space to run around and climb. Sadly it has lost some of this magic and maybe that's thanks to health and safety, and insurance that some of the old logs set out to be climbed on have gone. When it comes to the animals they have plenty of space and appear well looked after. You won't always see every animal each visit as they have plenty of space to hide when they don't want to be spotted. Worth a visit.
