Animal and Bird Shows
Pros:
"The bird show is spectacular and by far the best I've seen."
"The shows are amazing. Especially the bird show, which is absolutely spectacular - this show alone is worth the entry fee!"
"The Free Flight bird show has been expanded to an epic level."
"The bird show is superb and an emotional experience, it makes me cry every time we go."
"The bird show! Absolute must I think I enjoyed it more than my kids."
"The bird show... was very emotional and I found myself tearing up during it!"
"The outdoor free flight bird display is the largest in the UK with birds of prey, parrots and other feathery friends all flying over the vineyard together."
Cons:
"We did stay for the shows but wasn't anything special, especially to argue they are worth the pricey entrance fee."
"The bird show was cut short due to weather."
"Only disappointment was that we weren't told about 25% of the exhibits being closed for refurb before entering and I think this should be reflected some way in ticketing/entry policy."
"It was raining when we went so not as good as it could have been."
"Only criticism is the long wait for a drink when the shows had finished as only one member of staff working the kiosk."
Staff and Service
Pros:
"The handlers were all fab and clearly loved their jobs and the animals at the park."
"The staff are really knowledgeable & clearly care very deeply about conservation."
"The staff are very friendly and informative about all the animals!"
"The staff were fabulous, very friendly, educated, inviting."
"All keepers/volunteers are friendly & knowledgeable obviously passionate about what they do."
"Staff were all really helpful, cheerful and went out their way to help with anything."
"The staff are super friendly and got a few animals out for the kids to touch and hold."
Cons:
"The staff were friendly (some were quite young and not so confident with the public, not an issue)."
"Foolish of me to not read the 1-2 star reviews before attending the zoo. Especially the responses from the owner would have put me off, even if the reviews hadn't. Not very professional."
"Only negative interaction was one lady manning shop an hour or so before closing on her own who wasn't particularly pleasant or helpful."
Value for Money
Pros:
"The price for entry was £15 for adults and £10 for children which we thought was fair."
"An excellent small zoo... Excellent value for money."
"The prices were also good which included family packages, and you could also book animal encounters if you wanted something extra."
"Great value for money as you can take a picnic and spend the whole afternoon there."
"Pricing is very reasonable."
"Good value for money, perfect for a few hours out."
"Had the most amazing day at this beautiful place, I would recommend it to everyone old and young fantastic value for money."
Cons:
"At first I though the entry price of £18 per person was a bit steep given the smaller scale of the park."
"A little expensive but the money does go to a good cause due to some species becoming endangered."
"Would recommend for small children but for adults spend the extra and go to a zoo or safari park."
