We had a Groupon voucher for entry which worked out very good value, £12 for 2 adults and children. A friend had been here and suggested that we come and we picked a lovely sunny day to go, although a bit chilly in the shade. The park wasn't that busy for such a sunny day. We knew not to expect...

This is a small freindly family run animal sanctuary. I took my two small children plus one adult with a short attention span! we had a lovely afternoon, the children enjoyed feeding the deer and the ducks. Lots of Peacock sowing off to the pea hens. The tea room is in a lovely spot with picnic tables outside and a... More

Excellent little park, a great day out for all the family. Its not huge, and if your expecting a zoo, its not. But its well worth a visit. Although it is rather overpriced at £9 per adult and £6 per child.

Okay.. so there's no lions, tigers, elephants etc. but there's a very good range of animals including the best collection of lemurs in Cornwall! A lot of love has gone into Porfell and we noticed the attention to detail made throughout the... More

Please do visit the Porfell website before you visit, this is not a wildlife Theme Park but a Sanctuary providing a safe haven for elderly and problem exotic animals for the rest of their lives, which includes unsuitable 'pets' and animals 'surplus to requirements' from Zoos etc. Porfell’s funding seems to come only from visitors & other charitable donations, and...

According to the information leaflet, it stated you can come into contact with some animals to feed them. We was so impressed with the leaflet we decided to visit the venue. However once inside we realised that we felt robbed, the resturant area was covered in animal poo, ducks, chickens and peacocks where able to roam free around this area... More

This is a lovely animal sanctuary not over developed and run by people who clearly have a passion for the animals they care for. There is plenty to see particularly the lemurs, they have a lemur called Larry who often runs free around the lemur part of the park sunbathing and watching the visitors go by.Very child friendly my 14...
