We went for the day with our 17 month old and we had the best time. We were very lucky and got to see all of the animals even the bears which was truly an amazing experience. The cafe food was really nice and not badly priced either. The staff were all so nice and helpful. Overall this was a great experience and would definitely recommend to anyone with children even the little little ones. We loved the fact the animals all had big and natural wild enclosures it was really good to see as you don't see that often.

Had a fabulous trip there today and were not disappointed. Saw 90% of animals. We were determined to see an Otter! And we captured a couple of photos. Great place. Well looked after animals. Staff friendly. Cafe super. Would come again. Spent 4 hours here.

A bit run down, and not many animals to see. A good soft play area for the kids. If you don't see the bears , you will be a bit disappointed
