Overall Rating

Good

A good place to see and feed some animals. We went on an overcast day during school holidays to this wildlife park. Paths vary from tarmac to loose gravel and the whole site is on a hill. Most was OK for a powerchair but would be hard work pushing a wheelchair. I often reclined by chair to going down the steep bits. There were a few hoses crossing one path which dragged when wheeling over. There was a picnic area overlooking the play area accessed by a steep grass slope which was OK as it was dry. It was good to be able to feed the animals and see animals that aren't native in the UK. It felt a little run down in places. The reception staff were friendly. There was an accessible toilet.
