Birdworld Reviews Summary

Attractions and Layout

Pros:

• "Amazing array of birds in a well laid out park. Many endangered and exotic birds in large enclosures."
• "There are so many enclosures for birds. Flamingoes, penguins and a really touching tribute to Sir Terry Pratchett in the form of an owl sanctuary."
• "The park is huge, you simply don't know how big until you arrive."
• "The whole place was clean, tidy, well sign posted and informative also easy to move round with a wheelchair."
• "For a fairly compact site, there are a lot of birds and plenty of information boards."
• "The grounds are well kept, lots of pretty and interesting birds to watch."
• "We particularly liked the Terry Pratchett Owl Parliament, but all the birds are very beautiful."

Cons:

• "Most the walk through attractions are closed for maintenance work, the farm is poorly looked after with virtually no animals or encounters anymore."
• "One complaint I have is quite a few times the big bushes in the enclosures obstruct the view of what's in there."
• "The most run down area was my favourite to see the tortoise area... they looked uncared for and needed love and attention no fresh vegetables to graze on actually no food in their tiny space area at all."
• "Some birds (in the walk through areas for example and behind the toucan) were badly pecked and in a not so great condition."
• "Also a lot of birds are kept in tiny cages.. that's frustrating."
• "A lot of attractions looked tired and old."
• "Little disappointed, feel as if it needs a freshen up, birds aviary needs attention beautiful species but the enclosures looked sad."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Tickets are cheaper on line."
• "Kids under 3 are free!"
• "The entrance tickets are affordable and the snack prices are decent as well."

• "Ticket price very reasonable under £20."

Cons:

• "Shame the feedings weren't open yet as it would have felt a bit more value for money."
• "It's so expensive to buy anything there. I wanted to buy them something from the gift shop, but not at those prices."
• "The food was terrible and so over priced."
• "Extremely pricey, terrible food at the kiosks!"
• "The prices in the cafe for food/sandwiches are extortionate so would highly recommend taking your own food."
