We had a lovely morning here last week on a day where we weren't sure where to go! The staff were all very friendly and the older man working in the shop/entrance was very helpful and obviously loved his job. The park is a lot bigger than we first thought and there were plenty of animals to keep our son... More

Fab place even in miserable weather. We went one cold April day wind had brought down phone lines so their card machine wasn't working, they said we could come anyway because we had made the trip to visit them. (Paid them back online later) The zoo has lovely homemade feel to it but don't let that put you off, staff... More

The staff are friendly, the animals are all fantastically cared for and the cafe is reasonably priced. I loved feeding the animals and the Kenya display is a nice addition. An excellent place to visit!

Not sure what to make of this one..... These are people making a difference to a lot of rescued animals and so should be seen as a rescue centre much more than a zoo...bearing that in mind the animals look very well cared for As a non-profit making organisation all the monies go back into looking after the animals, which...

Spent the morning here with relatives. Our party was from 15-70 and so wonderded if the lack of small children would be a downer. Not at all. From walking and being greeted by a male peacock in full plumage, to the parrots, the pigs, the donkeys, the marmosets, the meerkats, the lemurs and everything else - it was good fun.... More

We saw this advertised on a leaflet and decided to go we had a brilliant time there all the animals are well looked after and all seem very happy in their environments. Entrance fee very good and it all goes towards the animals food and care. Would deffinately recomend and would go again.

It really was Arctic - in fact we actually saw a few snowflakes! But despite this we had a great afternoon even if we were a bit envious of some of the animals who were sensibly all cuddled up under heater lamps. Love the layout of this place, lots of interesting animals that we could feed (specially loved the deer... More

Lots of different animals to see and feed. A really lovely place, not too big, and a nice woodland walk (take your wellies or walking boots). African village was interesting and a nice feature. Little cafe sells, good coffee and paninis as well as sandwiches, pasties etc. Braved the cold and sat outside in the picnic area, and was treated... More

I went with my family this morning to Porfell Wildlife Park and Sanctuary. Despite it being freezing cold, it was a thoroughly enjoyable morning. There is a wide variety of animals to see, some with huge characters! I have enormous admiration for the owners and staff, who obviously dedicate all their time and energy into looking after these animals so... More

We spent a lovely few hours here today, despite the bitter cold.The range of happy and warm animals (Meerkats basking under their heat lamps,were a delight to watch !!) We noticed how happy all these rescued/retired animals were.They were all kept in immaculate conditions, with company of other animals, and lots of toys for stimulus. Our family outing ranged from...
