Brilliant day spent there. Took me an hour to walk there from bridlington Town centre, returned via the south park and ride bus back to town. Good flying display, lucky as it was a windy day and they only decided at the last minute to go ahead with the display. Enjoyed photographing the animals.

Capybara Experience & animal park visit Jun 2026 The Capybara experience was absolutely incredible. We met Woody & Hetty and enjoyed time with them, feeding them, learning about them and giving them lots of love. It was a fabulous experience and the guide was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Would absolutely recommend this experience. The animal park was very nice to visit, the staff were friendly, professional, showed their care and commitment to the resident animals and you could really see they enjoyed their jobs. The park was clean and well maintained and the animals seemed happy and content. Lots to see in terms of animals and the opportunity to buy food to feed some of the resident animals in the park which was lovely. There was lots of shows throughout the day which you can attend for free and watch the animals being fed as well as learning about them. These were very well led and engaging. There was a lovely gift shop on site if you to purchase a souvenir from your trip. There was ample parking available for free and a cafe just outside the park where you can enjoy a drink or some food but this doesn't open until 11am. All round excellent experience, would absolutely recommend.

I visited here this week. I was expecting a small little animal park but it was brilliant. It’s clearly not London Zoo but it’s very good for what it is. The keeper who did the presentations of the animal feeding and the flying show was brilliant. So informative and knowledgeable. Really out performed what I expected. Looks like it’s getting even more investment and new animals. Great place for the kids.

Lovely place, great variety of animals. Also nice to know they are expanding, it's an ongoing process were hopefully they can give some of the current animals more space. Friendly staff. We came in quite late in the day but would have liked to see them feed the different animals in the morning. Lovely to see the peacocks being able to roam freely. Would visit again if in the area.
