Went on Sunday with our 4 and 2 year olds. If you buy your tickets on line it does save you money against the standard on the door price but remember this is for a single visit only. If you want an annual pass to save yourself the hassle just pay on the gate, you then get your pic taken... More

You will get to see the animals. At the time we visited the safari wasn't running which was hugely disappointing for many people especially those who had walking difficulties. The only way you can get to see some animals is on the safari and this includes the meerkats. There were some very irate people walking about especially as the park... More

First took my then 3 year old son there on the Boxing Day last year, and then went back a couple of weeks ago thanks to their great Passport offer. Although the weather was about the same as it was back in December, we were not disappointed - as it is indeed a versatile and well looked-after park. The little... More

Lots to do and see, very well looked after, but the icecreams and snacks very expensive. Take a picnic.

Far too expensive just to walk miles and miles and see a few animals in the distance. Restaurant too expensive, poor quality food. Not really a lot there. Spent £80 for a load of rubbish. Isn't it about time we sorted our Zoos out, made them entertaining like France do.

This was a truly awful day out in March 2011. The tickets prices of 22 GBP per adult was astounding but because we were in a group, and had travelled a bit, we proceeded. If we saw two animals, it was a lot. We presume they were being kept in on this extremely cold day. The landscape over which we... More

A really good day out, with lots to see and do, but a lot of walking, so wear your walking boots!
