What visitors say
It's a beautiful, small zoo that's runs off charity donations. The staff are wonderful and are enthusiastic to pass on as much information about the animals as possible. We spent a good few hours with the children taking in as much as possible and it was worth the money entering. Many if the animals are endangered but they look extremely well cared for. Would highly recommend anyone of any age to visit. To support this cause is worth every penny

Travelled down from Bristol area today to visit for a tiger experience for myself and my mum! It was amazing! The staff are super friendly and helpful! Huge thank you for Izzy for helping me out today in terms of first aid! She was super friendly and gentle! The enclosures are designed great with areas for animals to go if they don't want to be seen. The grounds cat was adorable too! So happy with today! Would definitely come back! Hopefully Napo will be out next time🐆

Visited on a good summers day. If you have any issues walking, they will allow you to drive up the road to cut out a fair hill. Blue light discount 👋. Lots of animals on show, and most of the big cats making an appearance later, made the visit fab.

I agree with another person, more of a conservation area rather than a zoo, but they are doing a great job, so supporting them is a great thing to do. The place is full of volunteers and they are very friendly - some very knowledgeable! Staff are also very friendly. People complain about some enclosures are overgrown (like it would be in the wild) and about not seeing animals (they have the right to have peace away from people if they choose) These two things actually show how much care is put into looking after the animals.

Visitors say this zoo features a great variety of well-cared-for animals, including big cats like jaguars, lions, and tigers, in well-maintained enclosures. They also highlight the excellent value, as the initial ticket often includes a free annual pass for unlimited visits. Guests mention the staff and volunteers are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the animals.
