A good walk, we visited on a wet day which some animals didn't seem to appreciate. Squirrel walk is good fun and they seem to be doing more to it. Had a good chat with the villagers.
We have been visiting Wildwood for a few years & always enjoy our time at this park.
The staff have done a wonderful job prepping the park for visitors ensuring it feels safe and still welcoming with plenty of hand sanitiser stations, extra toilets and making social distancing stress free.
The atmosphere at Escot is always altogether calmer and friendlier and feels a world away compared to the larger animal parks. There are regular animal talks and feeding times that adults and children alike will enjoy. The birds of prey shows are very entertaining and well worth planning into your day. There are sufficient play areas for children of all ages all set among the wonderful woodland plus the superb maze will while away a good proportion of time. There's even an indoor soft play area for those wetter days. The Saxon village offers a fun & interactive experience & the staff throughout the park are informed, enthusiastic and friendly.
The cafe offers a varied & delicious menu at affordable prices and you can opt to eat in or in the courtyard.
We can't recommend this park enough and visit throughout the year as each season seems to offer something a little different. It is most definitely worth becoming a member.
First time visiting .we had a lovely afternoon. Weather was good(if wet wear wellies as can get muddy in places) enough to keep kids occupied for a few hours, wolfs, wild boar, otter family,birds. There is a restaurant with a small menu. But overall we had a nice time.
Lovely couple of hours walking round a fascinating Saxon village, conquering the maze and seeing the animals. The rope swing and zip wire were super fun. Welcoming, friendly staff and a good range of products in the gift shop.
We loved this place! Especially the drop slide! The wolves, wildcats and lynx were amazing. Fab place 😁
