Lots to see and do here for a small local park and good to see it still going strong. Love the dinosaurs they are awesome.

The place was amazing but the food and staff serving the food did not seem with it.

Fabulous place for people of ages. Best place to see the wonderful tigers and the gorgeous red pandas amongst all the other wonderful animals.

While the park is ok, they do not take the Tesco clubcard points at this park and it's the one up north that does, however this is not clear. Also the price for entry compared to Colchester zoo for what you get is overpriced. They do have some unique animals that I had not seen in other UK zoo's however. The dinosaur trail is fun for the kids and the red train is enjoyable but considering price of entry I feel this should either be free or 1 trip covered in the cost of the tickets of entry.

We were a party of 3 adults, 2 kids. The children (age 10 and 12) did the red panda feeding experience which was excellent. The keeper was really great with them, and made the experience very interesting and educational. We really enjoyed the rest of the park and encountered quite a few keepers, all of whom were friendly and took time to talk to us.

We visited 12th October 2019 for our daughters 8th Birthday. We invited our family along so had ages of 2 to 58 years old with us.
The weather was so unfortunate and did not stop raining which we thought would ruin the whole day. We couldn't cancel the day due to pre booking our tickets.
When we arrived there was plenty of parking and the entrance is only a few steps away. The girls on the checkouts were friendly and gave our daughter birthday wishes and a birthday card which was such a lovely start to the day.
Inside is clean, with lots of places to eat, places to play and lots of animals to see up close.
We love this place and had plenty to do and keep us occupied. Our favourite being feeding the animals.
Only disappointment we had was even tho it was an hour before closing and there were no notices, we couldn't buy any more food to feed the animals, they shut the place to buy it. And then got sent around by a few people to different places to try and find the food. But every where we were sent they said they didnt have anything to do with it.
And when going in to the gift shop to do the sand art at 5pm (closing was 6pm). They told us we were not allowed as it was closed. But it was out on the table so we didnt really understand why.
Bit upsetting for our daughter as we had promised that could be her birthday souvenir and if we had known that they shut it earlier, we would have done it at the beginning of the day.
But other than that everything else was amazing.
Will be visiting again

Was expecting more different animals. But was enough for my daughter 😁

Upon arrival the car park had plenty of spaces, but we had arrived a little early so this may have been why! We purchased tickets and entered the park promptly! Loads to do for the little ones, plenty of outdoor fun and indoor too! My partner had booked an experience for my 30th which was to feed the lions! Which was a little daunting at first, but the staff were very knowledgable and made me feel at ease! Well worth paying the extra for this once in a lifetime experience!
The New Jurassic Dinosaur attraction has been done with great attention to detail! My daughter loved this part the most! Gift shops are also a plus!
We will be returning, but with a view to spend the while day!

It's a great day out for the kids and kept them thoroughly entertained. The restaurant is looking a little tired though and could do with updating

Visited on a rainy day in half term. Got to see all the animals as it was not busy. Plenty of undercover places to eat. Love the new white lion enclosure. You really don't realise how big these cats are until you can get that close to them! One of my favourite places to visit 😄

Took 2 and 5 year old. Had a great day. Plenty of loos! Lots of activities such as watching animals feed and talks about them. Was raining but plenty undercover. You can eat your picnic under cover if you wish. Soft play also enjoyed. I found the dinosaur trail quite scary!! Watch out for the ladt dinosaur you pass... Keep your distance!

Our granddaughter and we enjoyed the dinosaurs, lunch, play areas and train ride very much. Staff are friendly, and the place is well set out and sign-posted and clean. An effort had been made to mark Halloween.
But the animals fare less well, the enclosures feel neglected and small, and the animals are listless or out of sight.
I know the cages meet basic legal standards, but most zoos do much better than that these days.
