Poor reviews are from those who expected a whole day thing, or proper zoo...the website can be misleading into you thinking that. This entertained my toddler for 45-60 mins on a random Sunday on the way to the beach. It's excellent , but a small place, very well designed , good as a high quality small activity, recommend it for that. I knew it was small so didn't bother me, so just go with correct expectations and youll enjoy it.

Lovely little zoo. Only gave 4* as the lady on the front desk was rather rude and abrubt when we went to inform the photo scan code wasn't working. The staff didn't seem bothered, and we had 2 upset little boys. We were told it should 'update soon' (not very helpful when your not local). It tuck us an hour to get round, but my sons enjoyed the animals and the interactive learning there.

A great hour spent while in Swansea. There is free parking for 2 hours. It was £8 when booked online and so wasn’t expecting anything grand but it turned out to be a cute stop in the city. We went on a Saturday right when they opened and even when leaving it wasn’t too busy. We went as 4 adults and still had a lovely time. They have insects, plants and small animals. They offer free photos when you scan the QR code provided. Must visit if in the city!

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.
