"Fantastic day out for my niece's 2nd birthday. It was raining when we arrived but didn't impact on our day at all. Most animals are outside so waterproofs are ideal. The animals were still out in the field and wanted to be fed and stroked. The nature trail is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. The meerkats were very entertaining to watch and the babies snuggled in together.
The reptile house was a hit with my son (8) and niece ( as well as us grown ups ). They had axolotyls, a giant snail, tarantula, scorpion, chameleon, bearded dragon, snakes, tortoises, a guinea pig, hissing cockroach and a lovely parrot, Peggy. The play park was brilliant - plenty to do for lots of ages, the children spent ages on there. A must visit if you're that way and you won't be disappointed - thank you for a wonderful day B K August 2024

We took our little boy (2 years old, very nearly 3) yesterday and had a fab day out. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, the park was clean and tidy, lots of handwashing stations, animals all very happy and healthy, with lots of room, we loved that there were so many different stations for my little boy to play at (brilliant indoor play area, basket ball practice, ride on tractors, playdough kitchen, great outdoor park, go karts, diggers), had great fun with ebublio magic bubbles, hand feeding the animals and we LOVED our tractor ride with big hat Dave. Thanks so much for a great day out! A U July 2024
