My first thoughts of this zoo are, don't bother if you can visit Chester or even Twycross instead. This attraction is massivley overpriced and in need of some TLC. Spread out over a large site isn't too much of a problem but signage is, and staff are not engaged when one doesn't know the way around. I pre-booked my tickets... More

This zoo has the feel of a wild-life preserve more than a formal zoo with concrete enclosures. Visitors walk through a number of paths that border animal enclosures through the park. Many of the animals are commonly know exoctics - lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebra, tigers. There are several aquatic animals (flamingos, otters, etc) but the park is not a place... More

A wonderful experience. Saw this overnight trip reviewed in the Telegraph and booked straight away. As weather forcast was fair for arrival day decided to look round the Zoo before our official stay, entry included in price. Animals have great enclosures and were easy to see, notices and directions are informative, plenty of parking to allow viewing without too much... More

There are so many animals to see and in such great surroundings it is a paradise for children. Lots of places to picnic or eat in restaurants. More

Had a great time, despite the weather. Keepers are very passionate about the park and its animals, they are doing some great conservation projects. Lodge was compact but nice and clean with tea/coffee facilities. Food was lovely. Woke up early and went outside in the morning to be greeted by Mara's,bunnies and wallabys, and a fabulous view across the downs.... More

first of all, crazy price of nearly £20 pp, then an extra £4 for the car park, food on the site was all stupidly priced and to top it all off we saw hardly any animals as most were in hiding where you couldnt see them. we decided to get on the bus to go round the site because the... More
