A real nice and friendly small animal zoo. The keepers are approachable and knowledgeable and are happy to share their knowledge. All the animals are well looked after. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic time, the keepers were all really attentive and friendly, providing lots of great information about all the animals which are all rescues. We came just as feeding was taking place which was great.

Well worth a visit. The staff are so friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals. Animals were well looked after and well loved by the staff. I will definitely be going back there again.

Lovely little zoo! It is only small but if you engage with the zookeepers they are really friendly and full of information. We fed the otters and also the marmoset monkeys. They sell pellets in the shop to feed the emus and the pigs too. They have ice cream and lovely looking cakes aswell as a sandwich, panini, wrap menu aswell as jacket potatoes. I had a brie and bacon panini. It was lovely. It's not posh fancy food it's just basic but good value and tasty. Plenty of in and outdoor seating too. All the staff very lovely. Some interesting animals too! The armadillo was cool. My kids absolutely loved the ladybird hunt in exchange for a sweet. It was a fab idea they thoroughly enjoyed. We spent probably 2 and a half hours here and thought it was money well spent :) Would definitely recommend. It wasn't overcrowded either so it was a lovely pleasurable experience enjoyed by all. Thankyou!

Very good. Go support them. They really look after the animals and keep enclosures nice. Very friendly and knowledgeable too. Nice little cafe and shop. We went for half hour and stayed 3 hrs! Very good on every point. Money is put back into animals. They have rescued the animals too. Not too big to get around. A good morning out. Lots of talks and can stroke some. A big 10/10.
