Absolutely loved this place. The staff were so kind and friendly, the animals well looked after, the talks informed and entertaining. The walk through the woods was tranquil and beautiful, and we were so surprised by the range of animals being cared for. We came away feeling very warm and life affirmed. Otters are good for the soul!
This was an excellent and surprising find! We were not expecting such a fun half day. The otters are lovely, but they also have peacocks and a very tame wallaby wandering about in-between legs who was happy to be stroked, fed and petted by a plethora of children. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. They have owls in aviaries, deer running around and plenty of space for all concerned. When we went they could not have otter talks due to COVID and social distancing, but they were able to have a Bird of Prey talk without the usual petting. We really enjoyed ourselves and easily recommend this to everyone, especially those with small children. Note, the winner of cutest animal was voted by our family to be the Harvest Mice. Definitely coming back!
Great place to visit, lovely to see how much space the animals have to roam around compared to others we have been to. It's great for little ones being able to get so close to some of the animals. The staff are friendly and happy to help. Would recommend wellies if it's been wet as its muddy one side but still not that bad.
Absolutely brilliant otters, and other animals. the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The talks by the staff were very interesting and interactive with the birds of prey allowing the children to hold them in a leather glove. The walk around the grounds is mainly on gravel track with deer and wallaby's roaming free in the grounds and being able to be hand fed with feed bought at the centre. The chickens also were tough enough to face off with the male peacocks. A good day out .
A lovely day out. Covid safe and keeping visitors at a manageable level for social distancing. Lots of otters in different enclosures with different personalities. Also birds of prey, birds, pole cats, servals, deer, wallabies, peacocks and more. Parking, toilets, restaurant and lots of benches and picnic tables scattered around. Reasonably priced entry fee. You can buy bird and deer feed for £1 donation. Currently no otter feeding of bird handling but still have 2 bird of prey talks.
Fantastic experience. Was really fortunate to be able to hand feed the deer. Nice little cafe and informative talks about the birds of prey. Amazing family day, made uo for the weather we have experienced this week. Otters were very entertaining, especially at feeding time!! 5 stars. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely fantastic Grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed it as did we. Very reasonably priced. Lots of walking plenty to see and do. The fallow deer and otters are amazing as is the bird of prey and wallabies! Well worth the money. Cafe simple home cooked foods that are not over priced. The whole staff were awesome and nothing was too much trouble They answered questions gave information and spent time genuinely taking interest in adults and children.
Loved this place the staff were so nice, there were two guys who did a talk on the birds of prey very interesting and I got to hold an owl with the leather glove of course, it was a fabulous experience after the bird of prey talk another guy did a talk about the otters some from Asia and British otters also very interesting these guys are very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals that are there, after that we wondered around the wild life centre lots of different species of birds, there are wallabies, and deer where you can walk amongst and they come up to you and feed them, there is a cafe and gift shop too the food was beautiful, it's a absolute must see place to go if your in the area amazing place. I would just like to thank the staff at Tamar otter and wild life centre for being so caring to animals
A lovely place to spend a couple of hours. A bit tired in places, but no doubt suffering from lack of income recently. Great hands-on approach with friendly knowledgeable staff who were only too happy to answer our questions. Animals certainly looked well cared for and loved. We will be back to support next year.
Adored this place! So many beautiful animals, very tame wallaby which was happy for my niece to hand feed grass and stroke him, the man who was working and doing the otter talks was very knowledgeble about the animals and very interesting the things he had to say, cute 3 legged deer who my brother fell in love with! And my niece was amazed with feeding the other deer. Built on beautiful land with lovely wildlife. A brilliant day out for all the family! Only thing I would suggest is a bit more shade, as it was 25° and blistering sun but only 1 tree to shade any of the seating area and a couple more bins! As there only seemed to be 1 in the whole place.
