We visited at Easter and had a really lovely day out. So much to see and our son loved feeding the penguins and cuddling the wallabies! More

Just one of those small zoo's that have to be done. No, they don't have the big 5. No, they don't have cheeky monkey's. What do they have? Just a whole bunch of small animals, penquins, birdies, parrots, alpacas, goest, pigs, otters, loads and loads of ducks. It's just a nice little zoo for a couple of hours. See the... More

When you go in, make sure you buy at least 2 bags of food. Its quite entertaining walking around being chased by ducks! Only critism is that antibacterial gel would have been nicer near the penguins after you've fed them fish, as the tap water was VERY cold. More

My family and I recently visited Seaview my grandchildren fed the penquins, parrots, and wallabies and well as the ducks and geese that are roaning around. My husband found a friend with one of he parrots who really liked being stroke through the wire of its inclosure. We stroked the wallabies who had babies and saw them get out of... More

Amazing place! We found a coupon in a magazine (available on the ferry/campsites) that took the entry cost down to £7.75 for an adult ticket, an absolute steal. Staff so friendly and helpful - we were on a weeks holiday on the IOW and arrived at the park by motorbike, it was no trouble at all for the lady at... More

It's a great place for children with all sorts of birds and other animals roaming around or in large pens or cages. If you can't feed them, you can stroke them or just watch them showing off their plumage. It's a relatively small attraction and everything is within an easy walk, but the proprietors manage to squeeze maximum value out... More

I can safely say we enjoyed this far more than the larger, more expensive zoos we have visited. We stroked wallabies, rabbits, a dragon, a snake, fed the penguins & the wildfowl. Good value for money We took a packed lunch, and there was plenty of seating, but the food in the cafe looked & smelt lovely - and not... More

We are have been back a couple of times over the years, and Seaview Wildlife Encounter has been gently developing enough to keep it interesting for the kids. It's not one of those very expensive zoos where you'll see very rare breeds, but you get to feed a penguin or a parrot, and not feel that the whole place is... More
