Great family day out. House, garden walks, wildlife park and tractor ride to see the deer herd. Plenty of picnic areas and summer fun activities for young children.

Had a great day at the Wallaby experience and wanting to do more of them. Great day out. Even a museum to look around

For a reasonable fee, you can access to lotherton for the whole year, which makes it a great place for brief stays. It has a nice array of animals, and I enjoy it when the market is there. It is less worth the price on a single visit basis though, for a one off trip I would be more inclined to 4 or 3 stars.
