What visitors say
Went here mid week arrived as it opened. It wasn't busy so we had plenty of time to see all the animals and birds. There's some incredible birds here we were really surprised how big some of them are. The birds are all caged but you can get really close and nearly all were close to the nets so we had a great experience. There's a little coffee shop which we were glad of, today is 32C there's plenty of shady spots. The staff were all pleasant and most said hi to us with a smile which made all the difference! Sadly we couldn't stay to see any of the four flying displays. Well worth a visit.

Had a fantastic time at a Photography Experience day hosted at Gauntlet. It was really well run, the staff are super knowledgeable and there is a great variety of birds being cared for. It was beautiful to see how happy the birds are and how well the team understand their individual needs. The flying displays and static displays are just so much fun and exciting. Will definitely be back and managed to get some decent pictures too to remember the day :)

What an absolutely amazing place. Our visit was one of their afternoon tea days that I had purchased for the wife's birthday. She's very much into birds of all kinds. The information they give and the obvious love and devotion to all their birds and animals is fantastic. It's lovely to see the birds being able to fly freely with no constraints just a tracker so they can be monitored and located. Two sessions split by a lovely afternoon tea was two hours very much enjoyed. You also get time pre and post sessions to walk round the areas where the birds and animals live(you've got to love a cheeky meerkat 😊). Well worth the visit and we'll definitely look at some of the other sessions they do for another visit.

Amazing place. Run by a family passionate about birds and very committed to conservation projects, including a very important project in Africa. So many flight displays on the Sunday afternoon we came, with all the birds free to fly off as long as they wish. I've never learned so much about birds of prey, and all the birds were visibly well, nesting etc ...this was by far the best centre I've visited.
