Excellent day out loads to do for the kids

The staff here are lovely, really stand out exceptional. We live close, so have got our money's worth from our annual pass. Nice educational museum sections, cute well cared for animals, lovely cafe and overall relaxing pleasant environment. Will be going back again and again.

Bring my little kids here all the time, they absolutely love the animals, the park, the play areas and especially the Viking village. Buying your ticket means you get to come back all year too so it’s a great deal. Highly recommend for a good day out with the kids.
