• "Whilst the tickets were expensive, they do include a return within six months, so it's quite reasonable."
• "A fantastic, value for money day! we will be recommending to others."

Cons:

• "This place would be amazing if only they managed the inflow of customers/cars."

• "The animals were good to see after waiting in a queue and then told we had to buy tickets from the kiosk back at the centre."

Animal Encounters

Pros:

• "It's a place where you can get up close to wild animals, with amusement facilities and rides."
• "Feeding the animals is a bonus and there's plenty of them but only within limited areas."
• "The drive through Safari Park had all of the bigger animals that were all on show with some great interactions with the safe ones."
• "The safari section of the park was extensive and had a wide variety of wildlife to view up close."

Cons:

• "No word of a lie it was like queues on the M6. Took us over 2hrs to complete the safari which I imagine with traffic management could do half that."
• "Both my kids have got so fed up of looking at green grass and the lack of animals unless it’s a deer of some sort!"

• "There are good number of toilets and food shops available, which is good as well."

Cons:

• "The main downside of the day was a lack of signage upon arrival and lack of staff to ask for help from."

• "The displays were good but some of the models especially in the ice Age section were damaged probably vandalism."
