    Lots of birds!
    Not been here for many years, and it doesn't seem like it has changed a great deal. Quite a few of the big hitters in the bird world, and what I think is a new Owl area, it's definitely a nice place to while away a few hours. There are a few "events" during the day like talks and feeds, but I got the feeling it was more that a keeper would be in the area during this time to answer direct questions, rather than a specific demonstration. I would have liked a flying demo, etc. Although I did have a long talk with one of the girls about owls and she knew her stuff, and was engaging. I'm not sure if it was due to avian flu that everything seemed a little pared back and quiet, and why the prices were cut down. At the full price i'm not sure it's good value, but if the higher price would include more in depth demos and possibly handling some of the animals once there is less risk it would be worth coming back.

    Fun, informative day out!
    A really lovely day at Birdworld with friends. We found it to be very interesting with plenty of information on each type of bird. Although the inside viewing areas were shut (due to the current diseases going around) we still had a great time and felt there was plenty to look at and see. Some of the food areas were shut but we did go in winter so it is fair enough! Plenty of parking and toilet facilities available around the site. A fun day out for people of all ages and have recommended to our friends and family.

    Pleasant but pricey!
    A wide variety of birds and some nice enclosures/walk-throughs, however parts do seem a little run down. There’s a small play area and lots of picnic benches and I would 100% recommend bringing your own food. £9.95 for a panini or jacket potato is frankly extortionate! Especially when paying £50+ for entry for a family of 3. A nice day out but probably not worth the amount we paid.

    Pleasant outing
    On the whole, a pleasant outing but it seemed rather run-down with some areas shut off to visitors. There were a lot of the same birds in different cages. The main café was the only one open when we visited - even the drinks booth wasn't serving coffee as they had failed to stock up. The entrance price was expensive for what it was and the place was overrun with children. The café was very expensive and not great quality. A nice visit but we'll probably leave it another few years until we return!

    Over-priced and run down
    Having visited a couple of years ago, I was hoping to see some improvements to the park, but apart from the coffee (now Costa machine), there weren’t any! Felt especially sorry for the penguins and the flamingos in their dull and dirty enclosures. Really not worth the money, won’t be returning.

    Great value for money
    Birdworld is worth every penny, if you walk around try to read some off the signs looking for some off the smaller birds you can spend al day here. I like the fact the grounds are keeped to a great standard, the birds have large enclosers and are well looked after. We have been four years running in school holidays and kids and adults have loved it....especially Henry the cockatoo who says "hello and goodbye" bobs his head if you do first...lots off laughs. Good for prams and wheelchairs.

    Not great
    Used to love coming to birdworld but what has happened. There is no longer the train, no reptiles and no underwater part has also closed down. A lot of the cages were empty and there was mostly doves, pigeons and pheasants to look at. The farm was also practically empty The whole place is in serious need of updating really not impressed as it cost £55 for two adults and one child feel so ripped off and sadly won’t be back.

    Getting a bit Tired Now
    Went here about 5 years ago and decided to go back. It’s getting tired now, cages seem very small indeed for some of the wildlife, it’s all worn or wearing out. It used to be good for about 4-5 hours but I would say 2-3 and it’s done. Needs some money spent which I guess maybe the problem but tired and worn would be a good summary.

Waste of money. Half of it wasn’t open but still charging full price!! Dirty uninteresting and nothing to keep the attention of our 3 year old. Never going back. Good just as bad, cold and over priced 😞

Really great time and I think the website undersells the attraction. Spent around 4-5 hours walking round and looking at all the birds. Really interesting!

Such a lovely day out as always seeing all the birds and the enclosures are all clean looking, the signs explains where the birds come from and information is easy to read.. One of the staff that fed one of the birds came back out and chatted to us about the birds and it was lovely, wished we got name.

Great fun day, interesting talks, pumpkin decoration, singing and dancing for the kids, feeding penguins, the kids absolutely loved it. We stayed all day and they were sold out at the end!

Absolutely fantastic place to visit, well kept, clean, in great condition and healthy birds and animals. Plenty of amazing species of birds and good enclosures.
The food was amazing, i thought it sounded pricey but after the food arrived and was tasted, i was very impressed with the quality.
The day was a 5* day and definitely will be going back.

So disappointing!!!!! We used to visit regularly when my children were younger but haven't been for 4 years now and wish we hadn't bothered today. The aquarium has been closed down, theres no train now, no bird shows or opportunities for children to handle any animals on the farm either. My neice actually got upset and just wanted to go home! We did try to watch the penguin feed but the keeper stood behind a large shrub and just fed the penguins next to her so we didn't see anything being fed and then she went out the back where the penguins all followed her and she fed them from there. A lot of the enclosures were very overgrown and they all looked a bit old and not very engaging for the birds. I wish i had read the reviews before spending £72 for a family of 4 as it is definately not worth the admission price. Its a shame as all the staff were so so friendly but we won't be returning or recommending it to anyone.

Great day out. Well maintained and almost all the birds cooperated and came out on display - how many zoos can you say that of! Ideal for families, especially those with younger children.
