Absolutely loved this place. Incredible birds, some tame, some wild. Had the chance to see things you would never see in the wild, yet the birds definitely seemed to be very happy and free in their eden. Would recommend to anyone who loves nature :) More

Very enjoyable stop - wonderful birds at every bend. My 3 year old loved the feeling of being in a jungle surrounded by beautiful birds. Well done to the team who keep the place looking so wonderful. More

This is a huge aviary and there are many varied trails inside. A lot of different birds and waterfowl to be seen. A good family and couples stop. There are some steps and somewhat steep sections of trails. More

We went as part of the joint ticket with Monkeyland next door. Actually we did both attractions in one afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it and I have to say that this is the best close encounter with birds you will ever get, as they live in a paradise forest and come to the feeding stations where you can get up...
