Lovely Day out

I think it was great value for Money. We really enjoyed the talk on the wolves presented by Shana. I loved seeing the different owls. We all enjoyed the adventure playground in particular the zip wire.

Nice day out

Really great time. Kind and knowledgeable staff. Learned a lot. The trick to seeing the animals in the winter months is to follow the feeders. Would recommend.

Overall we were disappointed, we knew it was winter so that the animals might not be as active as in summer, but we literally didn’t see anything other than otters (which was great if you live otters). Considering they were still charging full price at...More

As the prices are going up in April (we have to increase our prices every 2 years) the winter prices are lower.
