Loved it here. Sadly too much snow to drive around part of the park to see Bison, Deer, and other hooved animals but what a treat to see Polar bears in the snow! Beautiful Siberian Tigers and Snow Leopards, Wolves, scottish wildcats and Monkeys all in an environment that suited them. Plenty of space in enclosures. Loafs of fascinating information boards that show just how much this park takes seriously conservation and preservation of these beautiful animals. Well worth the money and we look forward to visiting again.

This place is an absolute must if in the area. The staff are so approachable and knowledgeable about all that the park has to offer. Don’t be put off by the colder weather and shorter days. I think I have seen more and enjoyed seeing the animals more active this time than in the summer.

What a wonderful day out. Right from the start when paying in the lovely gentleman who was at the booth was so lovely chatty and friendly. A genuinely pleasant and welcoming beginning he is a credit to the park as was any of the staff we met. We were so lucky to get to see every animal there. The wolfs were what we mainly went for and were not disappointed they were so close and they were having a sleep right at the fence of the walkway it was a great experience. We were so lucky with timing with the big cats also. The enclosures were clean and looked to be very well maintained. The animals looked to be in great condition and did not appear to be stressed at all which is lovely to see. We found the park to be well set out and had plenty of time to get round all the enclosures, have a bite to eat and a play in the playpark before closing time and we didn't arrive till 12. I highly recommend a day out here a great day for anyone of any age.

I had an incredible Tiger Experience. This was purchased as a gift so didn't really know what to expect. There was only one other person doing the Experience at the same time. We were given a H&S briefing before being allowed to feed the tigers, through the fence. It was incredible to be so close to such majestic creatures. The keepers were super informative, kind enough to take photos and allowed us to ask lots of questions. The Experience may only have lasted half an hour but I would highly recommend, if you want to get close to these amazing animals. The rest of the park is worth seeing too although you need to be quite fit and able to get around the walking part of the park. Nice cafe and facilities on site too. We arrived around 1.30pm and it wasn't busy at all.

Had an amazing time exploring the park. The habitats are very beautiful and makes it less stressful for the animals. I would definitely give yourself about two hours alone to walk around the park and more time if you plan on doing any activities. Definitely worth the drive.
