Ok day out, I'm guessing children will enjoy it more. Slightly disappointed about the scale of the place (sorry that sounds snobby but we could have been in and out in under an hour)

Where do I start......? As I have written a rather large essay. I shall start with my conclusion so you can choose not to read on! Go. If you live in Bristol and have young children, it's a local charity that needs our help to continue its good works. I would say it's more of a half day out, unless... More

what can i say. The people are doing a good job. The horses do need help. And without the help and visitors the centre will close - and that's a shame. But there's nothing here. Well horses, ferrets and an indoor slide thing. It's ok. It could benefit from a few more things to do or may be a -... More

Hello, and thank you for your comments. HorseWorld relies heavily on donations and people visiting HorseWorld to help with our mission to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses, ponies and donkeys in need. We find many people take advantage of our great-value membership scheme which is just £39.95 for two adults and any three children, allowing unlimited entry for a whole... More

I went for the first time today and was very impressed by the whole set up of this place - where there are so many 'attractions' around here that are similarly priced but the money goes into some fat cat's pocket, it was refreshing to find a place that uses the money for the benefit of neglected and abandoned animals,...

Visited Horseworld 10th April. Nice day weatherwise. You must be aware that this attraction is very much age appropriate. We visited with our 2 chidren 12 & 9. Our daugther (9) is horse mad and rides at a local stable. Unfortunately, as other reviews have stated, there isnt really too much to do here for older children. Would suggest that... More

Thank you for your response and sorry to hear that you didn't have the day you were expecting. The visitor centre is just one area of our charity, and on a typical day we have a minimum of 13-14 horses and ponies, our donkey herd of 9, as well as the smaller animals including Janey the pig, the ferrets, goats,...

After a couple of cabin fever days due rubbish weather. I decoded to bite the bullet, wrap the girls up and go to see this fantastic establishment. It never ceases to puzzle me how everyone walks around with smiles on their faces. Which in turn makes me smile, the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. The horses look happy and... More

All I know about horses is that the front end bites and the back end kicks! Having said that we greatly enjoyed our visit to Horse World.
