Lots of beautiful and interesting birds and some wallabies too! Lovely gardens and grounds to walk through whilst feeding the birds. Great cafe too.

I found this place while working and they're lovely people who run it. I promised I'd bring the family on my day off and today I did. We started off with lunch. The food was absolutely delicious! A teeny bit pricey but well worth it! We then headed outside to see the array of beautiful birds they have there and the little one got to play in the park at the end. It surprised me how long we actually spent there. I'd recommend it as a day out, ticket entry includes a year round pass with free entry and under 5's are free.

Brilliant day out for all. Tickets very reasonable also you pay for your ticket on the day and it lasts for a year. So you can go back as often as you want just remember your ticket. For a birthday treat, buy 1 Ticket for up to six people, and get to feed the flamingoes. Ask at reception? To book ahead.

I was part of a party of 2 adults and one child. We were there for around 3 hours and took part in the flamingo feed and we also ate in the cafe. Staff are beyond helpful and very friendly. A lot of the birds are free roaming and you can buy bags of feed for £1 at reception. The flamingo feeding is great fun. Overall it was a fantastic visit and we will definitely be returning again soon.
