Brilliant place! Saw all the animals they had, as usually you don't get to see them all. Very well set out, with nice walks. Not to expensive for admission. Drinks and ice creams were expensive, so would advise to take snacks. Really enjoyable day out, recommended!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Lovely spacious wildlife park Animals all have large enclosures, all look looked after and cared for. Easy access for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The paths are all gritted which can make pushing a manual wheelchair quite difficult and a very bumpy ride for those in mobility scooters with the solid wheels. Mobility scooters were available to hire also. Large cafe with the most friendliest staff in there. All very clean, very well looked after and great selection of food and drinks. Plenty of toilet blocks dotted around too. Keeper talks are very interesting. Would definitely return if I'm ever in the area.
Good day out. Could have done with a map as Im not sure I saw everything. Lots of information boards for each animal that are easy to read. The zebra Land Train, was very popular. Cafe has outside seating overlooking a pond with water birds to watch. Relaxing. Lots of amusements for kids. Plenty of toilets Wheelchair friendly. Will return.
What a lovely place to visit for a cheap day out! £44 for a family of 4, booked in advance and we just walked straight in. The zoo is quite expansive, with lots of different animal areas to visit not all paths are wheelchair friendly. What I liked best was the amount of information that was available to read about the various animals as you walked around. It was wet and windy when we went, but don't let that deter you! Would highly recommend!
Tickets was expensive for what it is. Alot of open space but not a bad thing really. Animals looked very happy, and well cared for. Only saw one keeper throughout the visit. Was happy to see a plated lizard as my brother had one as a pet when we was children and that made my day lol. Lady who scanned ticket in shop seemed down & slightly miserable. But either way enjoyed our hour or so walking round :
Excellent zoo. Very spaced out so plenty to see and not lots of people as your spaced out. Animals of Africa although no elephants but you saw everything including the lions. Service at every stand was really good. Staff seemed happy. Not overpricedVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
This is probably a little unfair as a review, as it's winter in an African themed Zoo; Price- Were super reasonable, 21 quid for 2 adults probably the best out of all the zoos in the area, especially considering its variety of endangered animals. Guest Facilities- some were shut due to it being mid week/winter which is completely fair. Toilets were clean and standard. There is a restaurant, we didnt go in but looked fine. There seemed to be a lot of animal talks around the zoo, assumingly for busier periods, which again is fine. Bins were a little sparce, especially on the north side of the zoo. Education- Boards and reading information on every exhibit. Zoo keepers didn't really interact much which is neither here nor there really, but is nice when they do. Animals- I was actually super excited when i saw the amount of rare animals advertised, it definitely has the best collection of endangered and different animals in the area, and of any zoo i've visited so far. The only problem really was not being able to see the animals, mainly on the north side of the zoo. A lot of animals were in their sleeping enclosures it being winter some of them had windows you could see into, but the buffalos/deer species and lemur species did not have this. So there was a few empty habitats, which is to be expected since its winter, but more viewing areas would be great! The south side where the smaller animals are was very good though. The animals all looked healthy, a little tired maybe but again, it is VERY cold today. Habitats were all clean and reasonably large though. Accessibility - I'm a part time wheelchair user. It was 98% accessible, the park is very flat so nice and easy to get around. Though a lot of grass that sometimes we wanted to cut across. Ramps for most viewing areas. Most of the north of the zoo is gravel pathways which were a little bumpy and uncomfortable. Viewing areas with doors were manual, as they usually are in zoos, so little assistance is needed with those. Overall, nice big zoo. My first time going, I believe we didn't get to see it at it's best due to it being winter, which is to be expected with animals that prefer the warmth. Loved the quirky selection of animals. Gift shop was good, not full of random crap like other zoos. Had a REALLY good selection of quality plushies personal preference, but it's rare these days Staff encountered were polite. Would recommend going in the summer :
What a great day my family had, my children really enjoyed seeing the animals and we will definitely be returningVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Excellent zoo, great place to visit rain or shine... I am sure the animals are living their best lives here, would definitely visit againVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Such a good day out!! We decided to visit after seeing the keepers on Instagram and it really lived up to it. We got a great deal and were able to visit both Africa Alive and Banham, two zoos for the price of one! It is a smaller park but there is still so much to do; keepers were so informative and friendly and we managed to spend the whole day there. We also booked a red river hog experience which was so much fun, theyre so cute and our keeper was so knowledgeable. Looking forward to seeing more content from the keepers, would love to see them on tiktok!
