I went with my daughter,husband and grandson had a great time.My grandson is 2years old and enjoyed not only the animals but also the play ground.One thing that really impressed me is that they have a play area for children with disablities not many places cater for their needs,also easy access for the disabled.Signs done in sign language which is a very unusual thing to see shame more places dont do this.Educational lots to do even a motor bike museum would recommend this park to everyone.This was my second visit and I will definately be going again.If people travel by train or bus there is a pick up service to get to the park at only £3 per person though we didnt use this service we were very impressed that this was offered

A brilliant day out. the staff were extremely helpful & friendly which made the experience very special. The zoo is extremely well kept and all the animals looked healthy & happy. Especially the penguins after I had fed them !!!!
Although we hadn't any children with us there was lots of activities for them to do.
My family have been visiting this zoo for over 20 years and have seen it grow from a very basic zoo to the excellent place it s now.
would highly recommend it.

Had a lovely day with our grandaughter who is just under 2 ,she had the time of her life going from animals to play things she was entertained the whole day ,finally finishing off in the paddling pool which she really loved we are lucky as we live nearby so will definitely be coming back .
The only downside was the food we purchased in the restaurant but in future we would bring a picnic as the picnic areas are more than adequate

Interesting to see and read about the history of speedway with lots of artifacts and memorabilia through the ages - lots to take in as a very interesting collection.
Lots of animals to see and take photos of. The personnel know lots about the animals that they are looking after. Great to have the higher viewing platforms to see into the enclosures so you have more chance to see the animals as they rest under trees such as the wolves and big cats.
It was great to read all about the conservation and breeding programmes that the zoo is involved in to help keep these species of animals alive for more people to see and to try and release them into the wild.
There is new enclosures being built as they try and provide excellent care for the animals - good to see a range of different owls in addition to parrots and other birds.
The day got even better - Brilliant and awesome opportunity to see behind the scenes and to get up close and personal with a Big Cat - had a choice of cat to feed and the keeper was very knowledgeable about the animal - highly recommended for all to do - nothing to be scared of as they are very gentle. What a great present to have!!

The 6 of us went here at the weekend. Got lucky with the weather. Arrived early and nice and quiet. Park has been developed since our trip a year ago. Lots of improvement going on. Loved our day out here. Lots to see and do. Boys of 3 and 4 walked it all with some rests. Great coffee watching the Tigers from the restaurant. Nice train ride (£1 each), and day finished with some fun with the magician and balloon man, which the boys really enjoyed. Will definitely return. Great family day out

We went to see the animals, especially the two Sloths. However we didn’t know about the Dinosaur Park. The animals were good to see, the Sloths being very slow as usual!! The Otters were my favourites, very active and we saw one juggling his stone which was good. The Meerkats had cradles in the lamps to hang onto which I’ve never seen before. A lot of the animals were hiding earlier on as the day was cold so good to do this on a sunnier day. The Keepers were really helpful and you could see they loved their jobs. Talked to several and got good information on some of the animals. Then went into the Dinosaur Park........creepy as they were mainly animatronic, very realistic. Wouldn’t like to be there if they came alive. Apparently in two years the Chinese will make them able to walk on their own. Hope they don’t fit AI or we will be dinner!!!! There are several food places around the park and lots of amusements for younger children so a good family day out with youngsters. However in the reptile house they have several massive snakes. One child walked in, took one look and ran out 🤣 so beware!! Not many reptiles there or fish but it is a smaller Zoo but with all the other things there a really good day and I would highly recommend visiting.

Went on a Monday during the Easter holidays so lots of children around having lots of fun! Obviously a big hit for families but my boyfriend and I enjoyed it for our date too.
Entrance fee for both of us together was £43. There’s family offers and concession discounts for OAPs and carers but no student/emergency services discounts advertised on boards.
The park was brilliant and so many animals to see! Started with the birds and then moved onto the bigger animals. Popped into the diner around 2:30pmish and it was relatively empty so were served quickly- burger, chips and drink x2 was around £19. Food was alright- filled a hole!
Animals were great- the best place to stop if you get the chance is the cafe next to the tiger enclosure and get a table next to the window- the tigers like a spot nearby!
Would definitely recommend visiting whether adult or child. It exceeded our expectations and we had a great day out!
Only reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that the toilet facilities are not great. There’s toilets in the car park but I didn’t use these. I used the ladies toilets by the main entrance and there were three cubicles plus one baby change. For the needs of the park these got extremely messy by 4pm and whilst there was a cleaner who arrived to deal with the mess (I felt very sorry for her!) it seemed like they’d been like that for a while. Lots of children using them so don’t think it’s malicious mess but more regular cleaning and refilling of loo roll and soap dispensers may be needed- especially as hand washing is so key at animal parks
