Good experience, we were lucky as the bears were out playing in the sunshine, the lynx was curious enough to come see us at the fence, the otters and ferret were also out to play. Enclosures are looking a bit sad as they are very overgrown with nettles and the park is needing a bit of a revamp! But overall enjoyed our day out, such a pleasant walk round the animal enclosures as well.

It was lovely to visit this place as we've never been before. What I liked especially was seeing the animals that have disabilities (one of the eagles has a fused wing, and an otter that is blind) is looked after here as I would worry they would be unlikely to survive out in the wild. Plenty of well cared for animals in a lovely environment. We were hoping to catch sight of the bears but either they weren't there in the exhibit when we visited or were snoozing (it is hibernation season for them is it not?).

Really enjoyed the country park with the kids. Lots to do for my child with a disability and finally we did make it on boxing day which surprisingly was not at all busy. Most of the time the play parks can get very busy. Also there are electric car chargers in the parking lot if you do visit. Great addition.
