An absolutely incredible day out—highly recommend! We visited as a family of three (two adults and one child) and the entry fee was £61.60, which we felt was fantastic value for money given how much there is to do. The entire park is so thoughtfully designed; if you are visiting with little ones, you’ll love that there are benches everywhere, so you’re never more than a few steps away from a quick rest. The entry fee covers almost everything. The only extra costs we came across were the train ride and the animal feed bags, which are a bargain at just £0.70 each. While we skipped the train, we bought some food to feed the goats and sheep, and our child absolutely loved it—it was a major highlight of the day! The variety of birds is spectacular, and they have a fantastic schedule of events running all day, from educational bird shows to different animal feedings. We were so busy exploring the outdoor trails and the various play areas that we didn't even make it into the indoor soft play area, though it's a brilliant backup option to have if the weather turns. Between the incredible bird exhibits, the farm animals, and the multiple play parks, there is more than enough to keep a family entertained for hours. The grounds are immaculately looked after, and every single member of staff we encountered was incredibly friendly and helpful. We had the absolute best day and will definitely be returning!

Lovely place to visit if you're down in Hayle. The animals are all well looked after, plenty of birds if you're a big fan of tropical birds. I'd say the prices are reasonable, especially if you're used to visiting zoos and Safari parks. The Staff are friendly and especially the keepers who are very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. The cafe was nice too, prices aren't like tourist traps, we had two drinks and two very nice panini's which came to just over £20. We would come back again if we are ever in the area!

My new favourite place on earth. Don’t know whether it’s because I was raised a city boy but I want to work here. The park is stunning! Not only is there a beautiful aviary of birds and other critters but the plant life is well… well it’s Jurassic park with a cream tea. You can tell the people love their job, you can tell the birds are happy and are well looked after. The sheep and the goats are comical but happy. I love this place and will be coming back. A lot.

What a little gem, lots of birds to see and the otters were a treat. Nice cafe and the free-flying bird experience was great! Thank you for all your work.

A great day out, well worth the entrance fees. The kids love the jungle barn soft play with three large slides and a separate play area for the younger ones. There's many different birds to see and for a little extra you can feed the lorikeets or at the end of the free flying bird show you can have a bird pinch a pound from your hand and put it in the donations box. Also there's a minutre train ride to finish off. Generally you should plan to spend at least 4-5 hours to get around everything.
