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.

Nice place .prices are verry good, only thing was it was a very hot day and there was no wear on the zoo co.plex to have a drink 🤔 you had to go out the ground to the cafe have a drink and go back "needs moor planning . If they ot it right I'd have gave 4 stars
