We booked in for the "Feed a Lemur" session which involved a talk by the keeper and preparation of food for the animals in big bowls. After giving us some safety tips, we went into the enclosure and proceeded to be climbed all over by ring-tailed lemurs which has to be the most awesome thing I have ever done at... More

Some animals missing for refurbishment. A small but friendly zoo and the visiting children loved being so close to the animals

Third time visit and still there is more to see. The staff here are amazingly friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals in their care. We were lucky this time to get there just in time to see the lima being fed. Even more lucky when we discovered there were three babies to be seen, no bigger than a small... More

This place is fantastic. I didn't have terribly high hopes as these types of attractions are usually full of empty enclosures and mostly consist of deer type animals. Not here. The meerkats are an obvious hit, loads of different monkeys were hilarious, the big cats beautiful. The enclosures are large and all the animals look happy and healthy. My 4... More

This place has all the right ingredients for a good family day out. Lots of interesting animals, great space and opportunities to get involved with the animals. The staff seem passionate and there were improvements going on while we were there. The cafe is disappointing, a bit basic, but the soup was good. There is a picnic area, play park... More

A wonderful experience at trotters World of Animals. We had a fun packed hour with the Meerkats , preparing their food and then feeding them with Adam the Keeper. Then out with John and the hawks and and an eagle flying them in the park. Notto be missed whether you are 5yrs or 55 years - we learnt so much... More

My wife and I visited the wildlife park last week on a cold March day. It was very quiet when we visited so it seemed we had the place to ourselves. At this time of year there was a few baby animals on view so the “aaahhh” factor was high. There is quite a bit of work ongoing at the... More

Staff were well informed and very nice. There was a girl from Denmark who was gaining experience and knowledge on her journey to become a Zoo Keeper. The meerkats were Devine and we learned a lot about their social relationships etc... We also got to feed them! The rest of the park was well kept and interesting
