We love this place for the dinosaurs. In fact, we came today for the youngest to see the dinosaurs again. They are the best ones around. It’s great to have the splash pool in the warm weather and the animals are good to see. Great park and soft play too.
However, today the number of wasps nearly ruined our day. They were absolutely all over the place and landing on people and food. If you really really don’t like wasps then I wouldn’t recommend you visit at the moment. We’ve visited many many places over the holidays and have not experienced this problem. I would say the zoo, at present, has an issue with wasps.

Enjoyed the day until it rained

As a party of 7 we really enjoyed our first experience; beautiful animals, friendly staff, great layout. We were disappointed there wasn’t a snow leopard as expected but the Dino park was great fun and my two sons loved it. I think I need to mention how shocked we were at the amount of wasps flying around and attacking people, it was a huge disappointment to our day, I got stung (I’ve had quite a nasty reaction) and spoke to 4 people throughout the day who had also been stung, I personally wouldn’t return for this reason, I honestly felt like I was forever running around away from them wasted money on food as my children would not sit at any of the benches due to the amount of wasps everywhere. I really hope you sort the wasp problem out as it’s a major let down to the park.

Great place to visit with a lot to do for the money. My nearly 2 year-old loved it.

I have given it 3 stars because there were very few animals to see. No cheetahs, tigers etc. Shame ! Otherwise there were no queues
Picnic area: Plenty of space to have a picnic.

A good day out for the family. With the upgrades being put in the place is continuing to evolve. The Dino land area is not great but the kids enjoy it for what it is. I was quite disappointed at the lack of effort to keep things in theme. One great example of this is that one of the dinosaurs must have needed some repairs (fairly standard I guess for animatronics), the dinosaurs was fully opened up and work tools sprallwed everywhere and there was no one even working. It must be very simple to complete work like this when there are no guests but even if it must be done in open hours it could be done a lot better. My daughter stopped saying dinosaurs names following seeing this and pointed at the rest saying 'machine in there' (She's 2) - the illusion was killed. There are a lot of different animals and things to do so I feel it is a good value day out. Food is only ok and not great value. The staff are all pretty good with lots of effort made to make my daughter smile.

This was our third visit to the park and really enjoyed our previous two visits but this time there were fewer big cats (No leopard, snow leopard meant to be there but missing). The dinosaur section is pretty good. There is a new attraction which is not advertised - Wasps! You cannot sit in the eating area without being hounded by groups of wasps. It’s a serious problem and needs to be addressed, there are so many I would think there are nest(s) nearby. It’s ok if you are visiting with children for the first time but hopefully the attractions will improve and the wasp issue is resolved.

The park has various animals in spacious enclosures. There are multiple play facilities including the pool, parks and train ride for kids. Very good value for money.

Been many times before and I always love it. We recently went for the ‘summer nights’ and it was fantastic. I love this zoo, planning to go back for their ‘Dinos after dark’ later on in the year!

Unlike other Zoos / theme parks, every interaction here with staff was pleasant. Felt valued, they took time to listen (not talking amounts themselves or listen to radio) and were polite. Tops marks for customer service.

Dinosaur Park was very impressive as was speedway museum, animal park was disappointing. It is not very accessible with a wheelchair, either narrow paths or high kerbs to navigate, the exit doors were very difficult to manage with a wheelchair, had to hold a button while pushing a heavy metal frame door.Visited on

For a relaxed zoo experience this place is perfect. Dinosaur walk through and meet various dinosaurs throughout the day, many animals including tigers and white tiger, monkeys, lemurs, camels, meerkats, red panda, reptiles and exotic birds.
Lagoon area for kids to splash around in on hot days.
Plenty of picnic tables surrounded by play areas.
The food and drink outlets are reasonably cheap, burger or hotdog £4, 2 cappuccinos and a slushy came to £6.
Train ride is £2 but really not worth it, gift shop is extortionate.
We went in August during kids holidays, it was busy but still very comfortable and chilled out.
Definitely recommend this place.

I was quite shocked to find areas of artificial grass and flowers at a place like this. The dinosaurs are fun as is the little train ride, albeit a bit short. Some if the animals seemed quite impoverished and I wasn't that happy that some if them had enough space. The lions and tigers seemed good, but the otter area, for example, was tiny and instead of a nice pond with moving water, they had what equated to a very large bowl, very sad. It was the same price for a 3 year old as an OAP, which I thought was a bit expensive. I won't be rushing back there. I wish they spend some of their money on improving animal conditions.

This place is really decent, has some of the big zoo animals, and plenty of this smaller ones that are of interest.
It justifies the pricing point, which at first I was thinking was quite pricey.
The Jurassic area is quite big with a varied display of dinosaurs, most of which move. That’s a real treat this area, against what usually you get at wildlife places.
Plenty of activity areas, playgrounds and walking places.. in what seems quite a small place. Softplay was quite small, but adequate for kids to let off some steam in.. and steam it will be, as the building it is in was hotter than the sun when we went.
Good food options, and the burgers and chips are actually really good.. and I mean good, for this type of venue it was a real surprise. The chicken was excellent too, and 4 of us at for £31 with drinks too.
Lost a star… the cages for some animals feel small, I’m sure they are fulfilling the standards required, but I just felt they could do with being bigger.
+ and this is more about lazy softplay parenting, but many kids didn’t wear socks, and ran around with ice lollies, turning the softplay into a sticky mess.. so we had to pull our kids out early. Be nice if this was monitored a bit more closely, as some parents do not care in softplay zones and happily ignore their kids whilst they are in them…
