Small but wonderful place. We got a discounted ticket for the family but defo value for money. Quite a varied amount of animals with plenty of room, very informative of information, farm yard animals was felt to be detached from the main building and a walk around but worth having a look. Around 40% of enclosures didn't have anything in or were in hiding but enough to make it enjoyable. Nice shop and superb staff. Could do with a bit more along the trails but was an enjoyable place to come and defo recommend to people, defo coming here again.
