We had a wonderful day out here at Easter with our 5-year-old granddaughter. She loved feeding the animals and we particularly enjoyed the show in the arena which featured flying birds, including an owl, parrots and a vulture. The keeper who was showing the animals such as a snake and a barn owl was marvellous and made sure everyone had... More

We visited the Butterfly House with family and all of us from Grandma to our toddler niece had a wonderful day out. You can interact with the animals and fed them at several fruit stations around the park. Cleanliness is clearly very important here and there are lots of facilities to wash your hands after interacting with the animals. The... More

Went here yesterday with my friend, we had no children in tow so were unsure if it would be a little too child-oriented for us to enjoy but it was fantastic! Well worth the £8 admission, there is a great array of creatures. They are all well used to visitors and will gladly let you pet them. The peacocks displaying... More

We expected just butterflies but it was lovely to see so much more, in fact the butterflies are just a small part of what's to see. A lovely day out if the weather is nice - it's especially nice to see the bird show. My only reason not to give this a 5/5 is that the car park is little... More
