Was there for around 4 hours and it just felt like there was not much to see. Place feels rundown and definitely needs a bit of money pumped into it. May seem like there's a lot of enclosures but several of them are connected and the same animal. Talks were okay, Owl one was terrible, not even a talk. Going to try again in the sprong\summer as think I Amy have just went on a bad day. Also, main thing we wanted to was the otters but unfortunately they were not about on the day due to an emergency, we were told this was on the website, but it was not on the main page. About 30 of the over 40 species are just rats and mice probably.

This is not the place to visit in Feb. We saw one otter, two foxes, several field mice and 3 wild cats. How can you charge entrance fee to see nothing. Ok to have talks but children want to see. Money should be refunded

I have always wanted to have a look, but it is only open at weekends and Bank Hols, and mostly I do not have the time to stop. But today I did, and it was sunny (though cold). I get a Senior ticket but it was still £12.50. They gave me a little map and the first thing I saw was the owls, all of which were visible. I particularly liked the Little Owls, so cheeky and cute looking. There were a pair of them, but one was sitting on a branch right in the centre of the cage. I noticed that when children ran up, it flew to the back again, but stayed for me because I approached quietly. After that, it was a bit like the Emperor's New Animals! I can give you a list of all the animals I DIDN'T see. I didn't see hedgehogs, stoats, snakes, badgers, red squirrels, pine martens, polecats, otters, dormice, terrapins - all of which had pens or enclosures. Are terrapins British wildlife? - I don't think so. But I did see a Scottish wildcat - which looked very like my own tabby cat except a bit more sturdy looking, foxes, deer, a weasel, varied mice, a rat, a raven, and highland cattle. There was also a wetland boardwalk, but the only thing I saw there was a heron and a shoal of big fish. My favourite was probably the Little Owl, with the communicative raven second, and the weasel third. I particularly would've like to have seen the otters and the red squirrels, and probably will go back another time when the weather is warmer and hopefully more animals would be seen. There was a cafe and it was lunchtime but the toasted sandwiches were off they said and I didn't fancy anything else. The shop was small, but very well stocked with animal jewellery, crockery etc and lots of lovely good quality soft toys.

Took my partner with me as a surprise, she’s not normally fond of the zoo but she absolutely loved it. I feel that it is definitely somewhere that we would return to at a future date. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Took my grandchildren here and they loved it with so much to see. Enjoyed the talks by the keepers which were very informative as well as seeing the British animals there. Plenty to see and the cafe was amazing. Not bad value either.
