Become a Family MemberWe visited on Sunday past, and we had a great time seeing the animals and great food in the cafe. But a quick Google and you can find out just how badly their animals are treated. Beating turkeys to death. A monkey left dead in the enclosure that long only bones were left. A dead rabbit left in the petting zoo whilst kids were still there. A dead mummy kangaroo after being chased by the owners dog. Amd worse of all, employing people who treated their own animals that badly they are no longer allowed to own any animals.
Had a great experience at the wildlife park. The moment we arrived we were greeted by Benny, a cuddle-lover sheep dog, in the well stocked souvenir shop. The warm food in the café was delicious and the views were gorgeous (choose between a view over hills or a pen of guinea pigs). Toilets were clean. Outdoor temperatures were freezing, so didn't see that many animals but we managed to feed ostriches, a peacock, sheep, goats, ducks, geese.
Stunning location. Incredibly good cafe. Lovely staff. You get to feed most of the animals and there’s a wee petting zoo area. Absolutely loved it. Best animal place in Scotland.
We visited yesterday as a family of four — with our 8-year-old and 5-year-old — and had the most amazing day. The park itself is absolutely beautiful; the scenery alone is worth the entrance fee, with stunning views of the nearby mountains that take your breath away. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention goes into every detail. The toilets were spotless and smelled fresh, and every single member of staff we met was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. At first glance, the park doesn’t look that big, but don’t be fooled — it’s huge! There’s so much to see and do, and the variety of animals on display is incredible. It’s easily the best animal park and petting zoo we’ve ever visited. The café was another highlight — plenty of delicious, high-quality food and drinks to choose from, all enjoyed with amazing views across the valley. The staff even surprised our kids with two free cupcakes, which absolutely made their day! All in all, it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. We can’t recommend this place highly enough — a perfect day out for families!
I bought tickets for me and my son for a Halloween experience on October the 11th. I booked the 6.30pm slot on the website it said the park was open for customers that booked and could enjoy the park at any time so we decided to come a bit early to find out the park had closed at 5pm . Not to worry tho as we could still explore the cafe and park etc. I bought my son a what you might say happy meal box containing a small yougart, a packet of crips and a carton of juice which came to £8.50?? 🙈 . When the time came for us to have the Halloween experience it was class the employees were amazing made me and my son feel welcomed we had such a great time going through the haunted forest to getting cupcakes and marshmallows by the fire 🔥 . I would definitely come back the staff was amazing and me and my son had a great time
