Came here with my 5yo son had a great afternoon! Lots to see and explore. The sea lion show was a bit of fun, but, my favourite thing was feeding the South American tiny monkeys strawberries not sure if this was allowed?. The cafes and shops are very reasonably priced which was a nice surprise! I think this place would suit all ages and obviously animal lovers though most creatures are caged. Definitely worth a visit!!
When reading reviews and seeing people say how steep and hilly it was, I didn’t actually think it would be that bad! However, pushing a pram was rather challenging. I would also avoid if pregnant as it is hard work! I would also think again about taking kids who are not fans of walking as this would be challenging. Some of the paths in the dinosaur area / Japanese garden are not wheelchair or pushchair friendly. Steps appear out of no where and no alternative route but to turn back. The car parks are so steep there’s even signs saying please apply handbrake ect! The park itself was good value for money! The sea lion show was funny! Some parts of the park need a lot of TLC. Especially the Japanese gardens, there was hardly any water flowing down the steam. You could tell it needed a lot of work but has such great potential to be beautiful. The park itself is a little hard to navigate, the maps are not accurate and they are located on little signs on the walls. There’s not much clear signage as to what part you are going. The train ride however was the biggest waste of £1 each i have ever paid. Kids on the train even passed comments on how pointless it was! Food was lovely and had great variety. The kids meals were great value. Soft play was also a bonus that they have there! However entrance to the park was shocking, there’s no ticket or anything you have or band / stamp to say you’ve paid. You can walk into the park through the disabled car park and there’s NO form of security / ticket office what so ever! I could have literally walked in today and not got caught or questioned by anyone!! Overall, a good day but I don’t think I would return again! Especially because of those hills!
Our son loved it, it's the perfect combination of zoo and dinosaur park making it ideal for an enthusiast of both. Easy to find and lots to look at, it's a great day out. Make sure to find time to watch the sea lion show and listen to some of the talks.
Order tickets in advance online for a discount, even on the morning of the same day qualifies. Lots of parking on site, but steep walks to and from the car park. There are also lots of steps throughout the park, which are wide enough to get a pram up and down, but there are no routes around them, or slopes/non-steps routes that don’t skip huge areas of the park. The park is setup as 2x trials through the woods with animal enclosures and plastic dinosaurs some animated/mechanised. None of it is too scary however, with our 1.5yr old being perfectly happy all the way through. There is also a soft play area at the start of the park access included in the ticket price
Great local zoo, with some side attractions for the kids. The zoo itself is great, wide variety of animals to enjoy, and you can get very close to many of them. Also, due to the landscape its all hillside you will often be able to look down the hill and get a clear view of the different animals. The dinosaur aspect is a bit underwhelming. Found a total of 8 decorative dinos, and a single large skeleton inside, with plenty of claws and eggs. Interesting but by itself, not worth the price of admission. The Egyptian aspect is entirely forgettable, you miss nothing by skipping it. Also the food prices are borderline extortionate, bring your own food and drink on the day, or you'll be paying £20-30+ for yourself, your partner, and one child to get a can of pop each, and a sausage roll, if you're lucky. Furthermore, as already pointed out, the entire park is on an entirely steep incline. If you or those in your party have mobility issues, you'll certainly struggle to keep up at multiple areas in the zoo. Expect children to tire quickly, and there's insufficient seating for them to take a load off.
We went here today with, 2 adults, one 8-year old, 1 toddler and 2 months old baby. The weather was raining. We notice that bringing any push chair or buggy is not favourable. We had our baby carrier and for our toddler is our Dromader toddler carrier. You need to wear comfortable shoes because there is a lot of walking. Food and toilet no problem, all child friendly. Do not be confused with the parking. The first carpark to the left is for employees, go up. You can park on the left and if you turn right, you can park at car park 1 and 2.Car park 1 is much nearer the back entrance. I suggest you come early to explore everything. Upon going home, you can let your family wait in disabled car park and pick them up. Overall, it was a good experience for both adult and child. Staff are friendly and animals were kept well. Cleanliness was fine. Enjoy and make more memories.
Though that say it's not pushchair friendly, it is doable. Park in car park 1, it's less walking to the entrance you'll thank me later with the steep hill climbs! Love little wildlife park, lots to see and do. There's a train ride with a surprise at the end and the dinosaur cage has one too! The sea lion talk is worth watching, you get to see them do tricks. Lion talk is ok... if the lions choose to come out. We missed the other talks. We took a picnic but there is a cafe. There is also a soft play but was far too much to see and do! But it did look good. Lots of animals to see, thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Great day out for all the family, dinosaurs and wild animals everywhere.... watch out for the cheeky parrots in the trees. All the animals are well looked after and it shows as they are lively and out to greet you. The wolves are very lively and watch you as you walk past the enclosures. The primates area was the most entertaining with the lemurs jumping everywhere. We loved the meerkat also watching them going along there daily business. Food was very good. I recommend the bacon brie and cranberry baguette. Almost forgot about the sea lions, they were amazing and we timed it just right with feeding time.
Beautiful day, loads to do with lots of walking involved very up and down hill, wear sensible shoes. plentry of places to picnic or places to buy food and drinks etc. A great day.
Nice afternoon out. I thought it'd just be for the kiddies, but very interesting about how our planet was all those millions of years ago. Some nice animals to see as well, including 2 full grown lions, & also a sea lion show. I thought it was well worth the £16 entry fee. Only negative is it's not for those who aren't very mobile on the old legs, it's very hilly.
