What visitors say
Always a great place to go, especially when you need shade from the heat. The birds and other animals are interesting to see and you can easily spend hours here walking around exploring. They have a lot of shows on during the school holidays and a lovely cafe. The new marble run was a great hit but could do with them doing a test run because most balls don't make it to the end, needs fixing.

Had an absolutely amazing day at Willows. The BoP experience was really incredible and our host, Lisa, was fantastic too. Her knowledge and enthusiasm was really impressive and we learned so much. Great to meet four really fascinating birds and enjoy two flying shows too. Would really recommend a visit.
