We visited from the US and wanted a kid friendly thing to do that was different... this is certainly the place! Sooo many activities that we didnt even get to try them all, and their's additional holiday themed ones as well. Kids ranging from 2 years to 13 enjoyed the hours spent!

First visit as we're here on holiday visiting friends. I was a little apprehensive at the price paid to enter however when leaving felt that it was worth every penny paid. Plenty to do for me and my one year old baby. He loved a walk in the pram around the paths and musical maze looking at the animals. Then we visited the play barn and soft play, he loved this! Then we were lucky with good enough weather to play in the fort and also on the ground level trampolines. The train ride was a special bonus. The cafe was good value for money and the food was fresh and tasty.,Overall we had a lovely time and would definitely visit again when we're in the area.

First time visiting this family park. It was great for adults and Children. The train was so much fun and the train driver was very knowledgeable about the animals around the park. The play park and the fortress was a great addition to the park. Feeding the animals was fun. The cafe had an extensive menu with hot food, sandwiches, ciabattas and a good kids menu. Prices were reasonable and staff very friendly. The shop was just a nice size and not too expensive. Would highly recommend this for some family fun.

Nice for family activities. I went there alone , the entry price a bit expensive £19 . They have highland cows which is lovely included others kind of animals highly recommend if you have a car . I took x7 bus from princess street and then walk 10-12 mins . If you have a kid, it’s a good idea to take them there so they can have experiences lots of activity days for children

We visited as a family of 6, ranging in age from 2-70. The park was suitable for everybody to visit. We went for refreshments (overpriced) in a nice cafe onsite. We went on the train round the park, which was good fun and informative. We fed the animals, who are quite tame and interested in people (lovely). We used the trampoline, soft play, go-carts, log swing, sand pit, family bikes, musical forest, big chair and gift shop. The weather was nice and the overall day was very enjoyable
