Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Access to this Zoo was restricted because of the Covid lockdown but it has bounced back. The kangaroos are often lethargic in the middle of the day, when the temperature is hottest. The flightless emus are the second-largest birds in the world, they are inquisitive and may approach you, but they are harmless. In the unlikely event that they peck you, don't worry, their bite is painless..

    Large family friendly beach. Nice clean waters. Red rocks are awesome to explore. Lots of shops and restaurants on the other side of the road.

    Highlighly recommend. Took my 2 year old and 6 month old. My 2 year old had an absolute ball, so much to see and do, very hands on. Us adults had fun too, definitely do the slide drop!!. You can’t take prams in, i wore my baby in a carrier, best option if you have one. They do offer free strollers inside though too! Staff were super friendly! 😁

    We got recommended by friends to go here, lots of quirky items, if your a car head, theres lots of service and workshop manuals, easy parking for your ride out front, friendly staff, you will definitely go away with something when you visit. Make sure you allow lots of time to slowly stroll through.

    Popular spot in the Main Street of Cowes. Lovely shaded playground and picnic with an excellent beach below. Well worth a visit with kids

    A very good illusion of a tap which seemingly floats above a house upon which it pours (and floods) a house. Also provides an attempt to entice (very successfully it would seem by the crowds' present) people to enter an amusement park called “A Maze’N Things”.

    This fibreglass monstrosity isn’t an “attraction”. It’s just a thing on the side of the road outside a pretty ordinary caravan park!!
    The koala sanctuary across the road however is worth an hour of your time if you’d like to see these beautiful animals up close.

    We came along on a Friday afternoon as we were in the area. We had the whole place to ourselves, was great fun! The variety of climbs/walls is really good, for real beginners up to experienced climbers! I don't know what it's like at peak times, might be busy with parties etc...
