Enjoyed our day out at the wildlife park and gardens. In total we spent about three hours there although if it had been nicer weather and all attractions were fully open then we would have stayed longer. Some attractions were closed due to Covid-19, which was a shame, although the reduced ticket price reflected this reduction in activities, which we thought was fair. One standout feature of this zoo was how close we could get to the animals, namely the penguins and meerkats which were in arms’ length to us. The grounds and gardens were also a nice feature. As others have mentioned, the zoo tried to enforce social distancing, reminding guests to stay 1m+ apart and form socially distanced queues, although unfortunately some people chose to ignore these guidelines.

Visited the park with our dog (as most places allowed you to take them as long as on a lead - apart from in the in door areas & 1 enclosed outdoor place) Good variety of animals to see in open spaces so you are able to keep a safe distance from others but still get close to the animals. Afew areas closed due to covid19 but nothing that detracted from our visit. Price of £14.40 online booking (which is a must the day before) and a booklet of £2.50 (inc good map) was very reasonable price. Only NEGATIVE - considering you have to book online the day before, they would have a good idea of numbers attending but they had run out of sandwiches at before 1pm and big queues at the main restaurant point (others were quieter but had run out of other hot food too). overall well run park with plenty of green space for a picnic if required. Please give me a 'like' if this was helpful, thanks.

Booked 2 days in advance with no problem and I thought the ticket prices were very reasonable as we spent the whole day there. It was relatively easy to find by car and parking was free. The wildlife park was absolutely beautiful; the gardens were so well-kept and it was amazing to be able to get so close to the animals, especially the rhinos. However I felt like some of the enclosures seemed a bit too small for the animals, which was disheartening. The train ride was closed due to COVID and a few enclosures were empty, but this didn’t really affect the day. I would recommend bringing your own food as the restaurant seemed a little pricey and there’s plenty of picnic spots throughout the park. It’s the perfect place to bring children and overall it was a lovely way to spend a summer’s day.
