What visitors say
It's a very lovely place. You can see the animals up close (if they aren't sleeping, that is). The staff are friendly, and there is so much to see, whether it's four-legged animals, fish, or birds. It offers interactive learning for children and active recreation for the whole family. We also found the gift shop to be really great. There are still some areas in the visitor zone under construction, but we trust that it will be fully open to enjoy in all its glory very soon.

Cute little afternoon out tobsee some unusual animals! The park has a lot of construction going on, to hopefully make some of the enclosures bigger. We saw almost every animal there even though the weather wasnt great. The meerkat enclosure with seating and large window was fab!! We loved the lemur talk too and see them so up close was lovely! The gift shop is really reasonably priced too as most places ike this are extortionate!! Food was lovely, homemade cakes! Service wasnt the best, thats the only complaint. A member of the public had to go and knock on what looked like an office area as he was waiting to enter the park and we were waiting to be served for a while. Cafe eating area wasnt maintained with staff entering and seeing dirty tables and leaving them. We cleaned our table and sat and watched the monkey chasing each other which was very entertaining for the children!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this little zoo. They have a good selection of animals, which are all very cute. The small zoo felt very authentic, and it gave more of a sense of commitment and care than these larger zoos do. The staff working were all lovely! I thought the price was very reasonable to enter.

Went to this zoo first time, was pleasant enough. There was not enough animals to see, and alot of expansion work was getting done. The girls at reception were friendly and polite. Bathroom was ok, bit outdated although they had disabled toilet facility. So big thank you for that
