What visitors say

We visited a couple weeks ago on a rainy day, it wasn't very big and didn't take us than 1 ½ hours to walk around. The man who i think was feeding the mantis as we walked in, was very friendly and got some of the spider molts to show the kids and gave lots of info, you could tell he was very passionate about he job which was lovely to see! There was a little trail you could buy for kids, which was a little difficult to work out and a little cafe inside which we didn't eat at so can't comment on food and drink, and also a little gift shop with some reasonably priced bits for the kids. Overall we would pop back if we are visiting the area again😊

We visited for the first time today so we weren’t sure what to expect. From start to finish I just want to mention how polite, helpful and friendly every member of staff were. The gift shop was a lovely touch too. We brought our 3 month old who absolutely loved looking at the animals, lights and plants/trees. All the animals were really looked after and there enclosures were clean and well kept. We met a young girl who was feeding the animals and she couldn’t have been more professional and helpful! It was so refreshing to have a conversation with someone who clearly cares a lot about her job and has a passion for the animals she looks after. She taught us a lot of facts about the crocodiles and Nala the leopard cat. We had such a lovely experience and can’t wait to come back for another visit in the future!

What an amazing day. Went along with sister in law and brother and we really enjoyed it. We didn't have to wait to get in. We thoroughly emersed ourselves with the whole experience. I loved learning about the various animals on show and we even walked round twice. Even bought some gifts from the gift shop.

As a home ed trip, we visited yesterday (Friday) it was lovely and quiet, however as expected there was as school trip on our way out. This place is beautiful, clean, lovely animals and education information (some I didn't even know) gift shop was reasonably priced and overall was a lovely morning. As a disabled woman I have to note this for any other disabled/ chronically ill visitors. It is extremely humid in places, understandably, so please bare that in mind, it was disabled friendly. And love that they offer concession tickets for disabled visitors. ( I used my blue badge as proof). I also want to give a massive shout out to the staff, who not only were amazing on the entrance but as we got to the photo part, a staff member seen I was doing something the wrong way, and he popped up to help without even being asked. And honestly I really appreciated that, so thank you
