Absolutely fantastic day out. We went for the Christmas event and it was brilliant. Staff all super friendly and helpful. Crafts, hot chocolate cones, and treasure trails too. The Father Christmas was excellent. Families went in one at a time and got time with him on their own. Spoke to the children and adults and my ten year old got a really thoughtful, age appropriate gift. Felt very special and well thought out. Really appreciated the words said and that everyone was included too. We laughed at the elf and grinch and thoroughly enjoyed the day. We've actually been three times this year now, and love it more each time. The birds are great and plenty of chance to handle them, with knowledgeable volunteers on hand to support. We will be back. Thanks!

Amazing Santa experience - best Santa EVER. No rushing in and out and great with the children (i had 5 with me aged 18mth to 9). Best Elves (Elf Noelle was so professional and fab with the kids l) and Grinch very funny and the volunteers all enter into the Christmas experience making it so special for the children. I cannot recommend it high enough. Even the gifts were not the usual cheap tat. As its a walk round experience, play park, trampolines, throwing balls to knock down penguins, Mrs Clause shed, Scrooge shed and bird flying display etc we could stay as longer as we wanted and as most of it was inside the weather was not an issue. The cafe was also reasonably priced. Thank you all for making it an amazing outing.

There wasn’t an option for 6 stars!!! Wow wow wow, we loved the Christmas experience…. We loved Halloween one, but this was even better!! So much to do and value for money…. Best Santa experience we have been to as well! What makes this so good is the staff!! They really own it and make sure everyone is having fun, and care about their job!! Thankyou, the campbell family really enjoyed themselves today!!

Excellent visit, the staff are all relaxed and friendly; the hawk walk with Charlie (and another whose name I've forgotten - sorry) was great fun and very informative. Having a Harris Hawk flying onto your arm is an experience to have! Walking round the enclosure after, I was invited to see some of the other birds flying. I'd recommend it to anyone, and will definitely be back.

Visited for the first time via a free ticket from the hotel next door. Thought we would be there 10 minutes! Fantastic range of birds and very friendly staff. The talk and demonstration was fantastic and, althiough we had to leave before the end, we were still there for 2.5 hours. Staff - brilliant and well wort a visit.

I took my friend for an owl experience today. I was expecting it to be good having taken my husband for a hawk walk a couple of years ago. But today, Michael and the team, surpassed themselves. My friend loves owl and she got to hold and stroke about 6 owls, all while learning so much about them and other birds of prey from the extremely knowledgable Michael. She even got the fly several owls AND hold an eagle (with support from the equally lovely George). This is an absolute gem of a place.

Fantastic experience. Booked a 1to1 experience for my husband so spent the day with Charlie, a very knowledgeable 15yr old volunteer! Outstanding service, so much information. Stunning birds, I wasn't keen on birds but ended up handling them all. Watched very informative flying sessions, and had a hawk walk in the trees. What a day!! HIghly recommended!! We will definitely be back!

Fabulous little place which is well worth a visit. This centre has a brilliant range of beautiful birds, all very well cared for. The flying demonstration and getting to hold a bird was great and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and go above and beyond to visitors. We spent a few hours here so also excellent value for money! Cute little on-site cafe and plenty for children to see and do: I imagine this would be a nice place to visit in the summer if you have children.

This is quite hard to find. Once you turn off the main road, you have to go towards the hotel area, go round the back and park before walking through the cut way with no signs until you start down the path. However we had a really good time, as there were only 6 of us to do the flying of the birds. There is a really wide variety of birds including raptors and vultures here, as well as owls which are part of the experience. We got to hold and fly a couple of owls, but the best bit of the experience was holding a fully grown golden eagle, which weighs a lot more on your arm then you think! I would suggest spending about 3 hours here, its a great half day out. The staff are really helpful and knowledgable. All in all a value for money experience.

What a great time we had. We walked around with our hot chocolate looking and reading about all the birds. We then went into a large tent where they did a display. Different birds were brought in from owls to a golden Eagle. Everyone was allowed to wear the glove and hold the birds. Staff are very knowledgeable, and great at telling you facts and interesting things about them. Staff were very approachable and funny. We put a donation in at the end, as we were there for over 2 hours
