What visitors say
We had a fantastic day and thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the animals. There’s a great variety here, so there’s something for everyone. The smaller events and talks throughout the day were excellent and really added to the experience. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special shout out to the Dutch lady and the Birds of Prey team, who were exceptionally informative, passionate and engaging. The bird demonstrations were brilliant and they did a fantastic job showcasing these amazing animals while sharing lots of interesting facts. A wonderful experience from start to finish we’ll definitely be back!

Liked our visit we had a fabulous day, all the animals looked happy and had spacious enclosures. Love that you could feed some of the animals and was displayed clearly with hand washing facilities. Picnic area spacious with enough seating for all and the park grounds well kept. Park keeper gave a very informative talk and a sense that she really loves her job, although some enclosures empty the first one you walk into was empty so only given 4 stars. Fully recommend a visit if in the area 😊❤️

Spur of the moment visit on a bank holiday, I expected it to be carnage but thankfully good amount of parking and I was able to buy tickets straight away. Good wildlife park with a nice mix of animals, outdoor and indoor play area, picnic area, shop and cafe. Good for all ages groups with decent facilities
