Noah's Ark Zoo Farm Reviews Summary

Accessibility

Pros:

• "With a wheelchair it's very accessible, about 3hrs is ample time to see everything and eat a picnic lunch."
• "Booking the mobility scooter is recommended, especially at busy times."
• "I'm a wheelchair user, and they have paths around the park."
• "Mobility scooter, wheelchair and pushchair accessible in most places."
• "Fully accessible for prams/wheelchairs."
• "Looks like anyone with a disability can park a bit closer."
• "Some paths are a little hilly, so pushing a wheelchair can be tricky."

Cons:

• "I noticed some viewing windows were too high for a young lady who was in a wheelchair."
• "Only slight negative is it's very open so can be very cold so make sure you wrap up warm."

Animal Enclosures

Pros:

• "The animals had very sizeable enclosures which is lovely to see."
• "The enclosures are big sized and all animals have the option to go outside or stay in their houses."
• "Animals are all so healthy and happy, huge, well kept enclosures."
• "All the animals looked happy and had sufficient space."
• "The animals have massive enclosures."
• "The enclosures are made to feel like home to the animals and give them plenty of room to roam and stretch."
• "The animals were very active and wondering around, big enclosures - unlike some places I have visited."

Cons:

• "The aviaries were far too small for the birds of prey in them."
• "You do have to wonder how the big animals could really be happy in the spaces that they have."
• "The lions, for instance, had a rather limited space, a fact that seemed at odds with their majestic nature."
• "Like most zoos, some of the enclosures are quite small for the animals."
• "We were a little worried about some animals such as the anteater and lion as they just circled the same route over and over again I'm sure thats not a good sign."
• "Seeing animals like this is quite depressing."
• "You can no longer go into an open gallery to see the giraffes as there is now a awkward screen with blocked off areas and smaller windows forcing you to have to squeeze up to others."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Visiting Noah's Arc Zoo on a sunny day for the discounted £10 rate after 3 pm certainly has its perks."
• "Personally, I felt it was good value for kiddies."
• "Extremely reasonable prices."
• "We had such a great time that we bought annual membership which was very reasonably priced."
• "Good value and quality food too."
• "You can easily spend the whole day here, making it good value."
• "Great value. Plenty of great animals to see and they all have plenty of space to roam around in."

Cons:

• "I think it was a little overpriced, if they had offers for families it may have been 5 stars."
• "The food outlets were quite expensive (£3.00 for a tiny box of chips)."
• "Food & shop are quite expensive."
• "£49 for 2 adults and a 3 year old so relatively expensive but guess that's subjective."
• "The only thing is the food and drinks were a bit pricey."
• "I’d say it’s a bit expensive for what you pay for."
• "Cafe was ok, bit cold, and expensive."

Staff and Service

Pros:

• "The staff were all great and really friendly too, especially the 2 ladies who did the bird display."
• "All of the staff were very friendly and helpful."
• "Really friendly staff, big range of animals and massive indoor play area."
• "The staff are the friendliest staff you could wish to meet."
• "All the staff I met were friendly and couldn’t do enough to make sure things were going well."
• "Nicest surprise of all was that all the staff were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable."
• "Staff were all friendly and knowledgeable."

Cons:

• "Sadly, the food was not that good and the 5 of us left our meals."
• "We ordered food in the cafe but one order was wrong they dealt with it in a very professional manner."
• "The reason for the 4 stars is the lack of coffee and other food outlet staff."
• "The one big thumbs down from us was when we met the owner. He was talking to a mother and her children and was making his religious beliefs very well known."
