## What visitors say

[Scott Meldrum](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117442108249862683137/reviews) ★★★★★

For a reasonable fee, you can access to lotherton for the whole year, which makes it a great place for brief stays. It has a nice array of animals, and I enjoy it when the market is there. It is less worth the price on a single visit basis though, for a one off trip I would be more inclined to 4 or 3 stars.

Had a great day at the Wallaby experience and wanting to do more of them. Great day out. Even a museum to look around

I had the pleasure of meeting Hannah, when she was feeding the wallabies at the zoo. She showed me round and really took the time to answer my questions about all the residents at Wildlife World, from Tippex the Peacock to Pablo the Kinkajou! One of the loveliest places to visit, both solo and with family and friends. I am very grateful, thank you Hannah! X

This place is huge, we only got a small fraction done. We will be back to visit very soon. Worth the money spent to enter.
