Thoroughly enjoyable visit for adults and children. The stuffed animals are set in very interesting ways. The horned animal skulls cause much interest for youngsters.

If you want a stunning wedding venue for your wedding, then Quex Park is it! Gorgeous grounds and the prettiest gazebo I have ever seen. If wet, Quex House is used at the moment, but plans are apparently afoot to provide a marquee in the ample gardens.
The unique museum of stuffed, African animals and artefacts is also worth visiting.

The stuff animals, though not politicallly correct now predate David Attenborough and are nonetheless spectacular.
The Quex Barn restaurant and farm shop are well worth a visit and check out the maize Maze in suumer

The displays in the museum are excellent examples. They are really well presented and preserved.
The gardens are well kept and contain a wide range of plants and trees and are large enough that even on a busy day you can find somewhere quiet to sit.
