Brilliant Day out for the whole family

A great day out for families with younger children. Our 3 & 6 year olds loved cuddling the animals and bottle feeding the goats. The big show with Alfie the Juggler was brilliant

Great centre for children under 12. Plenty of activities to get involved with and animals to pet and feed. Kept the grandchildren amused for hours

Excellent day out with the kids that offers wholesome family fun you don't find in a lot of places.

Good option on a rainy day, the kids loved it and made it look far easier than when we tried to climb up some of the walls! Get there early if possible and you'll have more room to explore.
