“Had a Great Day with Grandchildren”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

Years since we had been but it was a real treat. Love the hides. Great to see the flamingoes again. Watched animals getting fed. Saw the gardens looked after by volunteers. Cafe was a good place for a drink and this is a good place to visit whatever the weather.

“Excellent place but entry massively overpriced!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Lovely place to visit with the little one but turned out to be a very pricey day! Would put me off going again! Certainly has to be a considered decision! Think visitor numbers would increase if they ad an annual pass similar to that at Beamish!

“Great if you like birds and the outdoors”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

Took my 5 year old son. Unfortunately he bored of the birds quite quickly. There was a small park but not enough to keep him occupied for long. As an adult I enjoyed it and it would be fantastic on a nice summers day.

“Ideal for a kids party”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

I've had my daughters party here a few yrs ago but recently she was invited to one in the summer. Luckily the weather was nice, the kids spent time building dens & then they had a picnic. We all then walked round the different areas of the park & the kids got time on the play park. Over the years I have visited the wwf park on a number of occasion, the staff are always happy to help & will adapt to each childs birthday needs.

“Not just for the birds”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

It is a bit of beautiful wild life just outside town. The membership is a real bargain, as locals we can visit as often as we like. The staff in the cafe are very helpful and friendly. The volunteers always ready to share their enthusiasms. The animals(otters) and birds are areal delight. It is good too for people with restricted mobility as there are electric wheelchairs available.
