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."
