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

I must visit this place at least 4-5 times a year and have the most amazing time every visit.
The way the park is set out/up gives a unique and wonderful insight into the wild animals. I have never been bored or felt rushed when visiting this park, and find the animals incredibly well looked after. Its also a fantastic place to take children where they can get up and close to all the animals. The park staff are very knowledgeable and are able to answer all questions about the animals.
A fantastic day out can't rate it high enough....

Visited the Park with partner for a 'Feed the Meerkats' experience bought as a present. Arrived as arranged around 3pm for our 3.15pm appointment. The young lady on the desk was helpful and welcoming and explained that we may have the experience on our own or with another couple just depended on the animals and what were on show and which were on rest days. Served us tea/coffee and biscuits while we waited and suggested we had a quick look around the exotic birds just outside the Discovery Centre. We did that and then were off on our 'experience'. We were lucky to share our experience on our own and 5 darling meerkats who we fed and then stroked and cuddled. They were so tame and very cheeky - climbing on our laps and shoulders. The member of staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. We were invited to enjoy the rest of the afternoon in the park free of charge and given a gift of a t shirt and certificate. What a great afternoon - just wished we had arrived earlier and spent more time in the park. Now looking to buy another experience !! Fancy feeding the lemurs or red pandas next ! Parking immense and refreshments good and plentiful - not sure of prices as we got a free entry with experience BUT wait for special offers on the experience through BuyaGift or similar otherwise £168 for two which is a tad expensive (experience itself only lasts 30mins) - think we paid about £80 for two which was good value. They do sell the experiences on their website but on checking I believe they are more expensive than through a company on line who speciallises in this type of experience.

Check out their feeding time! We got the opportunity to feed the lorikeets and see them feeding the big cats.
They also have friendly macaws and parrots who can say Hello!
It's best to bring your own food as the burger/sandwich weren't that great. They also have picnic spots.

I've been here several times, and it seems to improve every time I visit. This time, I came on a photogy experience afternoon with the lovely Maggie and Tony. The great thing about this is that you're able to go in with some of the animals (under the strict supervision of the keepers of course), so are able to get much better photos. It was lovely being in with the ring-tailed lemurs and wallabies, and being able to photograph some of the reptiles at close quarters. But the main event was being able to get close to Baikal the beautiful white tiger. Being inches away from him, just the other side of the fence was absolutely thrilling, and you can't help but fall in love with him.
I spent all day here, and they have great photographic opportunities with the Amur Tigers, Cheetah and White Lions anyway because fo the high walkways they have. I really enjoy going to this place and just wish I lived closer!
The keepers here are all very friendly and helpful. There was a wonderful Big Cat talk by big cat keeper Tony - very interesting and informative, and even though I've been to a few talks I still learnt something new. You can tell how much the keepers love their animals.
Great website by the way - the videos in the Animals > Big Cat Territory are well worth looking at - some of them are hilarious!
Although I particulaarly love the big cats, of which they have a great selection, they also have some wonderful small mammals too. The red pandas are always a joy, especially the cubs. The short-clawed Asian otters are so cute. One of them was showing his or her dexterity, playing with a stone, and it was hilarious and mesmerising at the same time. Wonderful place, and I can highly recommend it.

There's plenty to do here. Took our Grandson and his friend for a treat and they absolutely loved it. Out of all the animals they saw, the big cats were the favourites. They also loved the play areas - especially the Formula 1 cars and the Pirate Ship. One criticism would be the over crowded restaurant. Maybe they should find room for an additional restaurant to sell hot food? Also the food very limited. Lots of chips with everything. More pasta dishes would go down well but that's only a minor point. We could have brought a picnic. Found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.
