Reviews
"Popular place, lots to see and do and the extra £1.25 for the handling session is worth it."
"Great place to bring the kids for a visit. Not the largest of places but good variety of animals. All look in great condition and birds in full plumage. Easy to see the animals and week laid out. Lots of little creepy Crawley's to freak the kids out with. With the entrance fee. Nice little shop at the end as well"
"Amazing place but before going make sure your child is aware of looking at scary snakes and spiders"
"Great day out for the kids, takes around 30 minutes to walk round. There is interactive bits, for a hands on experience. You can also take part in the handling sessions, these are great and only £1.50 per person! Lots of reptiles/birds. Staff were nice, talking to kid. Little gift shop at the end - reasonably priced."
"Took my 8 month old baby girl here and she loved looking at the big fish and the little black monkeys at the beginning of the exhibit. They were fantastic! Its great to walk around and get a feel for a rainforest but it gets very warm which is to be expected since that's needed to maintain the plants and the enclosures. So dress down for going around. I did find it a little disappointing you go round once and out...and as its one way you can't go back and see exhibits you enjoyed. Not sure if that is just Covid guidelines just now though. Anyway definitely would return when animal handling is back on. Great for families and can go enjoy other areas of M&Ds after so can enjoy a full day out."
