Surprisingly good for a little zoo. Staff were well motivated and friendly. Animal exhibits were well done and the welfare seemed good. Set dressing was good. Lots for the kids to do. Food was entirely edible and only slightly gouging, which for a UK zoo is saying something! Would recommend.Visited on

Parking is clearly a huge problem on school holidays. This is my only reason for giving 3 stars, because we drove 40 minutes to get there and very nearly had to give up and that was stressful! Get there EARLY to avoid stress and disappointment! Other than that it is a brilliant day out, especially if you have younger children. There's tons for them to do. I brought my teens back for the first time in 10 years and they enjoyed the zoo and the talks. For little kids there's the paddling pool, soft play, crazy golf, the train and the dinosaurs. Although, we enjoyed walking around the dinos too. They've added moving ones to their original display, which is fantastic, but some of them were missing information, which is a shame. The animals are well looked after. Someone complained the enclosures are too small. They're really not! Big cats, like all cats, spend most of their lives sleeping and their areas are lush and green with lots of enrichment activities. They're fine. The zoo is doing it's bit to maintain certain species. We took our own food, so cannot comment on that, but there were plenty of places available. The entry price is a bit OTT for just the zoo, but if you have little ones it'd be worth getting a season ticket and coming back again and again, as I did, when my children were small. But get there EARLY!

I love this place and been coming since it opened i love all the new changes and its easy to get around with plenty of watering holes plus sitting in Tiger cafe with the Cats beside you is a must. All the enclosures give an up close encounter with all the animals due to the amazing glass fronts and the environment the animals live in is just fantastic i totally recommend visiting

Had such a lovely day out with my daughter today! She used to visit regularly with her childminder so was in her element acting as my personal tour guide.

It was particularly busy, but the queue moved well and didnt feel at all crowded once inside. Lions and Tigers were my favourite of course, but the dinosaur trail is amazing and the best we've seen by far.

Lots of spaces to play, free face painting available on the day we visited (big hit) and a meet and greet with Aaron, Cam and Tyler from One, Zoo, Three.

Also, a big thanks and thumbs up for not forcing parents through the trauma of having to exit after a lovely day, with an exhausted child through a gift shop with the resulting meltdown and stress it causes!

The Zoo is divided into 2 sections. A dinosaur park and a more traditional zoo. The dinosaur park is good fun but more for small children while the Zoo is top class! Some great enclosures, with amazing views of the animals.

We went last week as we had adopted the wolves for my son for his 10th birthday last year. He was so disappointed to see the small muddy enclosure they were in - pacing in circles, ears down and generally not looking at ease. Appreciate that they are reclusive animals but we could barely see them, and they were surrounded by a constant cacophony of noise from the dinosaur park. My son's comment that they care more about their fake animals who had far more space than the real ones really struck a chord as dinosaurs are clearly a focus and a money spinner there. All of the other animals however were in a separate part of the zoo where money had clearly been spent upgrading their enclosures. I can only hope the wolves will either be rehomed or be part of the improvement programme as the current state of their enclosure was pretty dire…
Have to say the rest of it was good however and the food was lovely so not all bad! Hoping the wolves get a better deal soon….

There are lots of things to see and do - from visiting animatronic dinosaurs to seeing real animals and birds. Perhaps more to the point, the young children who accompanied our group really enjoyed their time there. It's worth a return visit.Visited on
