So I've seen some fairly harsh reviews so I'll start by addressing them. Is this a top notch wildlife park? No... And to be honest they've never advertised it as such. Is it over priced for what it is? No, I think the prices are fair, £5 for an adult, £15 for 2 adults 2 children (or £21 for a year, what's not to like there?). I think the best way to see it is a cafe with some additional attractions that cost a little bit to use. It's essentially a nice way to relax for an hour or 2, let the kids feed the birds and fish, have a bit of a play in the play area and enjoy some good food (the butternut squash soup was amazing and that's not me exaggerating, best I've had). So on to the cons.... It does feel a little bit dated (not the café, that would be a silly complaint as it sticks to it's historic roots), and as with any outside toilets they aren't the nicest but that's it really. Overall there's nothing that will stop me from bringing my family back. Staff are lovely, the animals appear to be well cared for, the food is good, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. It's a lovely place to take your time, and unwind. I could see myself coming back as a family, as a couple or just alone, just to enjoy the animals for a bit, then sit near the river enjoying a cream tea or a good value lunch. I could see this being great for mental health too.

A lovely place to visit. Tranquil. Good to visit in the daytime with children. We attended a movie night. Very atmospheric. The burgers were brilliant. Pizza nights are fab too.

A lovely little gem to spend a few hours at and have a nice meal. Food was quick and delicious. Impressed with new outside seating area. Children enjoyed play area and feeding birds and fish. There aren't a huge amount of animals but membership is only £5 per person for a year, so it's quite good value if you live locally and want a quiet place to take children for a wander round.

A really lovely place to wander and view the animals. The food is very good with vegan options. So glad l happened upon it one day . I plan on many more trips.

I have been to nicer places. I felt the animals could have been in a better place as their pens etc needed upgrading. It's situated in a lovely area and pretty surroundings so that's a good plus
