Fantastic place. A lot more to see than the tourist leaflets would lead you to believe. Lots of big cats to see with glass panels so you can get good views and photos. Really wide range of animals to see in nice surroundings. The meet the creatures" talk was very good. Spent a whole day there. Nice little cafe.

In the area on holiday and it was a rainy day. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The animals! Well I've been to a few zoo's in my time and this one was at the top of the list. Got to see just about everything they had. Interesting layout, easy spots to see the animals, good range of animals to see. Gift shop was small but comparable to other similar zoo's. Price was reasonable! Well worth a visit

Beautifully presented zoo, easy to navigate around with complimentary map given on entry. It was a wonderful day out for me and my 6 year old alike. We both thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were very welcoming and enthusiastic about working there. The animals are well cared for and have very well sized enclosures for their needs.We went on a Sunday so was fairly quiet and no wait to enter.The cafe is fairly priced for any food place these days and food was prompt and of good quality. Again the staff couldn't help enough.There is a gift shop before the exit which again is fairly priced for a day out excursion.All in all it was a fabulous day out and one me and my little one will remember for a long time thanks to the staff 😊

Good family day out. We only went to see the shoebill because my partner wanted to see him but they were doing all his cage up, so he wasn’t on display that day, but the zookeeper let us see him in his bed he was very helpful and full of information . They where lots off birds and other animals to see was only there for about 2-3 hours but was good . Staff where very friendly

Really nice zoo hidden from view. The animals all look well and cared for. We went on a beautiful sunny day and I think we saw all of them. Talks are regular and very educational. We would definitely go again.
