Price
Pros:
"With prices topping out at only £9.50, there’s no reason not to visit."
"Much cheaper than another nearby zoo, great for the bank balance and will keep kids and adults both entertained for a few hours!"
"It is reasonably priced and therefore a more affordable alternative to London Zoo."
"It was fairly cheap for us all and the kids had a great time."
"With a cost of £6.50 for children its very well priced."
"Really good price, nice staff, good for a quick 60 minute visit as well as a full morning."
"Definitely value for money ...highly recommended."
Cons:
"It’s a very small place with less animals for the price you pay."
"Not great, especially considering the price."
"Very overpriced for what is in the zoo just feels like it's being run with minimal effort."
"One can actually cover most of the grounds with a child within about 1:15m. Taking that into consideration, it’s really not worth paying £10+ for an adult and a child ticket is not much less."
"The ticket is quite expensive."
"The price to enter the zoo is expensive especially for a 2-year-old, hardly any animals? very small zoo."
"A bit cheeky how much they charge adults as it is a children's zoo."
Play Areas
Pros:
"There are loads of play areas including playgrounds, sand pits, a helicopter and a fire engine!"
"Heaps of cool playgrounds, petting zoo, feed the animals, lovely big water play area."
"The play equipment here is second to none - a real fire engine and helicopter, and a brilliant sand/water play area."
"The playgrounds are great and my kids loved the sand areas so we did end up staying for over 2 hours, but mainly because of the play areas."
"Also has an awesome amount of play equipment that you could spend longer on than seeing the animals - a big castle climbing frame, fire engine, helicopter, sand diggers, a huge sand and water pit."
"The playground is one of the best we have been to and the kids will play for hours!"
"The play areas are particularly imaginative and they spent ages there."
Cons:
"The play area the fire engine and helicopter could be better if there was more to do in them."
"Hardly any animals and the play area is good but could be very good if more climbing wooden things were put in."
"Needs a bit more, the playground is the only thing kids are interested in."
"Unfortunately due to the one way system this is the first thing kids see when you go on so there was a bit of a battle to move on to the animals."
"The small children's playground was in poor condition, showing significant wear and tear."
"Helicopter looks great but kids can't access the cockpit area or the controls which although understandable can be boring for them."
"There are not too many animals but small kids prefer playing with sands and trucks."
Animal Enclosures
Pros:
"The zoo itself is small but brilliant, with a really nice selection of animals."
"Lots of different animals."
"The actual zoo part is fairly small as it indicates, but there's still a good range of animals including a tunnel with space for kids to view the meerkats inside their enclosure."
"You can see the animals are loved and taken care of, the cages are clean, they look happy, well fed, and most importantly, LOVED!"
"The animals have plenty of space."
"Animals looked healthy and happy, the environment was calm and peaceful."
"The animals here all look healthy, well fed and, on the whole, have decent sized enclosures."
Cons:
"I could not notice the lack of space in the cages a lot of the animals are kept in."
"Too many birds in far too small cages."
"Duck pond was dried out, so was otters enclosure- they barely had any water to swim in."
"Wasn’t impressed with the animal conditions at the zoo."
"Very few animals worth seeing and the whole place is looking a little run down."
"Unhappy & unhealthy looking animals, tired & lacklustre in everyway."
"It’s a cute little zoo but unfortunately the animals are held in way too small cages and are clearly unhappy…"
