There was so much to see and do. The Safari experience was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed the River Cruise. We will definitely be back as it's impossible to do it all in one day. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and clearly love their jobs. The food was good value and portions were decent..

Had an amazing day at longleat! Easy to get around and the safari bus is very convenient if you dont want your car damaged in the safari tour. The commentary on the bus is top notch and humerous. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The boat cruise is a great experience and we were lucky enough to see all 3 hippos and the gorillas and the sea lions. Great Day Out!

I did the seal feeding and it was an amazing experience, up close and personal with the seals!! The safari park was something that felt out of a story book, getting up close to the animals really made this experience so special. I would highly recommend the house tour our tour guide was named Denise. She was very knowledgeable and super friendly. I would highly recommend this safari park as a nice day outing.

Well, Longleat, you truly exceeded our expectations. As a family, we've been dedicated fans of 'Animal Park' for many years and have longed to visit. We had an incredible two days exploring the Longleat estate, with our safari bus scheduled for 2 pm on the first day. The bus ride was absolutely wonderful; the driver was knowledgeable about everything you could possibly want to know and brought a delightful sense of joy and cheer to his commentary about the park and its amazing variety of animals. We witnessed everything available and even had a close encounter with the cheetahs. The lions roared, the tigers frolicked, and the wolves howled - it was all stunning and awe-inspiring to see them up close without any barriers in front of us. On the second day, we drove our own car (skipping the monkeys) and again saw everything - it was fantastic to observe the giraffes and zebras on the savannah, and the painted dogs were simply beautiful. We enjoyed riding both the railway and the boat cruise twice and explored the lovely interiors of the house's ground floor. The bat cave was fun, and the maze provided an exhilarating experience. However, Jungle Kingdom, Monkey Temple, Animal Adventure, and Family Farmyard unfortunately fell short of the expectations set by Kate, Ben, and the various keepers on TV. We believe these areas could greatly benefit from a much-needed renovation. It was also disheartening to see that the charming Dik-diks didn't have much space either. I must mention that all the keepers and staff we encountered were outstanding and incredibly friendly, from the cafes to the gift shops, which is wonderful to witness such a passionate team. Thank you for a brilliant visit.

We came to the safari park for the Wallace and gromit lights, we also came in 2023 for the lights and they are out of this world! So so good!! When we came this time the weather was horrific (11/1/26) I was so surprised at the staff! They were all so happy and upbeat even though standing for long periods being pelted on the face by what could only be described as a full on storm! We still had staff members offering to take our photos even at half 6 when I’m sure they all wanted to go home and get dry! We started on foot and headed straight for the boat, my 3 year old loved feeding the Sealions! We then carried on the foot Safari until we couldn’t take the cold any longer and headed for the car Safari (we didn’t get out for the wallaby’s bit we didn’t dare what with the weather). That was hands down our best safari experience we’ve ever had! The animals were all happy and playing! The blooming monkeys nicked a teddy tardis which I’d forgotten was attached to the grill 🫣😂 but this made our toddler cry with laughter and she’s still talking about it now a month on! I could not recommend this safari park more! Our only regret is we’ve not managed to visit in warmer months! You will definitely be getting a visit this summer!
