What visitors say
A lovely day out with my daughter (7) at Brale. The upgraded feeding experience amazing with the Capybaras. The keeper was cheerful and knowledgeable and the Capys adorable. Great outdoor playing space and my daughter loved bouncing on the massive air pillow! The staff in particular the receptionist who was also the shopkeeper worked tirelessly with large backlogs of people over Easter and put on a massive smile for everyone. She's likely underappreciated and should have had a support team member able to help at certain times of day. Nice little train ride which we saved till the end and realised we'd missed out a section of the park! Great site and feeding experiences, if it's dry a lovely day out! Ice creams most welcome!

We enjoyed our day at Beale wildlife park. It was good that ticket money include go cart and train ride. You do not need to pay separately for these activities. Staff was friendly and supportive. It's a good family picnic park.

Perfect size - isn’t too big that you get tired and lost like some zoos but large enough that there’s plenty of animals to see. There are a random assortment of animals but they’re pleasant to see nonetheless. The dark enclosure for the mole rats etc was so dark that I couldn’t actually see anything - animals or the other people walking around. There’s a lot of activities available for children. Plenty of parking.
