Wildwood Devon Reviews Summary

Animal Enclosures and Wildlife

Pros:

• "The main attraction for us was the Eurasian Brown Bears... as you got good views of them."
• "We saw lots of the animals including the red squirrels in the squirrel woodland walk through, bears, lynx, and wolves."
• "Absolutely fantastic place for the family to visit... Amazing food at the coach cafe and the wildlife is stunning."
• "Best place to get kids off phones and tablets! Lots of fun in muddy puddles, natural enclosures for the animals."
• "Had a lovely day we got to see the wolves and the bears which were amazing."
• "A lovely wildlife park, great to take children. We saw wolves, red squirrels, eagle owl, wild boar, wild cat."
• "Absolutely loved the wolves and red squirrels. They are definitely doing the wolves a favour, showing them as ambassadors."
• "Absolutely incredible! Every time we visit... From the wonderfully friendly staff... to the beautiful grounds in which wildwood is situated."

Cons:

• "Most of the enclosures are huge and you do not always get to see the animals in them, we did manage to see one Wolf in the distance resting in the sun."
• "My husband and I took our 5-year-old grandson to this place today with an expectation of seeing the brown bear, the wolves and some if the other animals advertised. No signs of any wolves or bears! Very disappointed!"
• "Would not recommend, £44 wasted. we didn't see any red squirrels, wild cats, bears, most of the aviaries were empty."
• "There is basically only 2 of every animal. Its more like a disappointing Noah's Ark than a zoo."
• "Disappointed with Wildwood as most of the wildlife was either missing or just hiding!"
• "Due to the lovely natural enclosures it can be hard to see the animals (we didn't see the bears, squirrels or otters due to this)."
• "It was quite a hot day when we went so many of the animals were hiding in the shade and the bird display was shortened."
• "This place was great fun, unfortunately, the soft play wasn't open at the mo, but luckily it didn't rain so we were able to enjoy the outdoor adventure."

Cafe and Food Options

Pros:

• "Food in the cafe was great and well priced."
• "The cafe is small but friendly, with sandwiches and kids food available."
• "Amazing food at the coach cafe and the wildlife is stunning."
• "Reasonably priced lunches too which is surprising at any attraction nowadays!"
• "The cafe has a small but very reasonably priced menu."
• "Had lunch in the restaurant, can 100% recommend the jacket potatoes, cooked properly in the oven for a lovely crisp skin!"
• "The restaurant itself was poor in my opinion... could look so classy. But in total, I liked it."
• "The food at the café was passable, but when you see a burger advertised at £8.50 it creates a certain level of expectation."

Cons:

• "In my opinion, I think the toasties could do with a bit of salad or a few chips for the price."
• "There is a cafe where you can buy hot drinks and hot food however it was quite basic and was very busy, the queue was literally out the door."
• "My only complaint is the coffee. Totally undrinkable, wasted £1.80 so if you like real coffee and not cheap and nasty instant, try the tea instead."
• "Would totally recommend a visit but i must add that the cafeteria need updating, it's a little tired and not appealing."
• "The cafe was short staffed and out of many items. However, the zip-wire & soft play were a success."
• "The restaurant experience was quite poor, i calculated that £3.40 of our entry fee was spent waiting for the staff to get three out of four of our meals right."
• "The cafe seems to be completely uninterested in doing anything creative. It all looks dirty, run down and unloved."
• "Cafe was good as it was when we have been before. Free entry to the cafe, free easy parking and free entry to the squirrel area and wetlands walk."
