Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Roam568389901721 contributionMeerkat and Lemur Experience for 2 was excellent. Our Keeper/guide Sara was very knowledgeable about the animals not only about the Meerkat and lemurs but about all the animals in the Zoo. She was enthusiastic about being a zoo keeper and loves her job. She made the experience fun and enjoyable.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ppeetteeWarrington, UK13 contributionsGreat castle, or fortified manor house.
The audio tour is free, and it really put so much into context.
Would castle again.Written 4 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Freddie BCoalville, UK206 contributionsGreat piece of industrial heritage nestled within the beautiful Shropshire countryside.
Whilst the bridge certainly might not be a day out in its own right, it could be a good one paired with the Wrekin not too far away. As for the Iron Bridge itself, it is a nice experience to walk across it and then go to the Tollhouse, which houses a small museum concerning the history of the bridge and the other industries within the area. It is also the centrepiece of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This can make it quite busy, but it'll never be as busy as other tourist places in Britain like Westminster Abbey.Written 27 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Seriously, it’s well preserved, with lots of informative signage. A small cafe and gift shop. Well worth a visit, especially if you have any interest in history. Fabulous views from some of the higher levels.Written 9 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However a couple of criticisms:
1 There was an unpleasant smell of fertiliser in the part of the grounds near the entrance. Probably caused by a nearby farmer, but still detracting from the experience.
2 A drone was being flown near the grotto picnic area. We were informed that drone flying is permitted if permission has been granted. This is too weak a policy. Drones are noisy and dangerous and should be banned under a general rule with notices to the effect.Written 10 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kerry Bshropshire3 contributionsWe visited the zoo as a family of 10...4 of the party were booked in for a meerkat experience, which they thoroughly enjoyed......we stayed for 4 hours and thought it was well worth the entrance fee...

- adrian cLeamington Spa, UK233 contributionsWOW, What an enjoyable day out. We only did Blitz Hill Victorian Town and the bridge itself but what an amazing day out. The staff were great and very knowledgeable. The place was clean and tidy. Well worth a driveWritten 13 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paulina DTelford, UK195 contributionsA beautiful place for longer walks or a meeting with nature. Both sides of this place, i.e. from the side of the parking lot (paid parking and usually very busy), a beautiful place for a walk and a picnic with the family where you can meet sheep and wild horses. From the other side, i.e. going up the top of this place, there is a beautiful open space for a quiet and people-free retreat where you can also meet wild horses.Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
