We knew we'd visit on our way down south but my mum was convinced we wouldn't spend long here. We ended up spending the whole day to make sure we could watch all 3 flying displays! Everyone was so knowledgeable and cared for all the animals incredibly well, especially the guy doing the flying shows, you could truly see how much he loved and cared for all of the birds. An absolutely perfect day out! I even got to hold a 21 year old tawny owl · via Google [Louisaaa 1998](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/110651116828629804979/reviews) ★★★★★ I LOVED THIS! We went in the morning and ended up staying for 4 hours we loved the owl flight show and all the staff were so kind and friendly. We went mainly for the raccoons haha and found the talk about the raccoons and lemurs really good and the girl doing it forgot her name but she was so good and very kind she also had some much information and fun facts which was good. We also went to the cafe and had some dinner there wasn’t many mains which were vegan but they did have this banana and blueberry cake which was vegan and was SOOOO good. All the animals look beautiful and looked like they are taken care off. Really enjoyed it also if you look out for leaflets in services or other attractions if you find one for the screen owl there’s a £2 voucher per person in side so we got 3 and saved £6 which is amazing. Would go back really good · via Google [GJ Stevens](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111978807625247642653/reviews) ★★★★★ I can't recommend this place enough. It is a lovely little place with an amazing array of animals, not just Owls. The staff are lovely and very knowledgeable and more than happy to answer any questions. The flying displays that occur several times a day are great fun to watch, no two displays are the same. The birds are very well trained and great fun to watch, even in excessive heat like my visit. The food on site is freshly cooked, nice and hot and the shop has a good choice of gifts. We arrived quite early on one of the hottest days of the year so far and the car park had plenty of space. If you're in the area, or even if you're not, it is well worth a visit with all money being used to maintain the site and improve the facilities, they are currently trying to raise money for the owl hospital. · via Google [Alan Dean](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113126012689535818848/reviews) ★★★★★ We attended a Junior Keeper Experience today with our kids (9 and 7) and they had an amazing time. The keeper (Jack) was knowledgeable and great with the kids, answering all their questions and kept them entertained. Everyone we interacted with were friendly and helpful and clearly passionate about the animals and their welfare. During the experience we prepared food for and fed the lemurs, fed and played with the meerkats, fed a baby stork and got to interact with, and stroke polecats, ferrets, foxes and a wallaby. Would highly recommend a visit, but particularly the experiences they offer. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486b6d66b7ce5465:0xb880c47a0deb9b17!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this animal park offers a wide variety of owls and other animals, with engaging flying displays and informative talks.
