Was there as part of daughters experience day .a wonderful experience. Keeper was great and the amount of information and detail was awesome. Spent the rest of the day round the park. Great opportunities to play with our cameras. The inclement weather no way dampened our spirits

Its okay. However wouldn't come back again. I must say the guy who presents the birds of prey show was great. He really deserves a big applause. There is a nice play area for the kids and cafe is not bad. We were one of the very few wearing masks, thought everyone would have by now atleast understood the need and importance of wearing one!

Great play area for 3 years +. Richard the man who runs the Bird of Prey session is brilliant, it was the highlight of our visit. He clearly cares a lot about his birds and he is very knowledgeable (and funny!) I wouldn't say you could spend a full day here but definitely a couple of hours. Worth a trip.

5/ 5

Excellent day out, reptile talk and birds of prey talk, very good. Birds of prey keeper v entertaining quite a character. New play area for children, quite large and a covered picnic area. With a visit, like all zoos etc. Better on a fine day. We spent 3 hours, which went v quickly. Would recommend.

4/ 5

Great place for young kids with plenty for them to see. A great play area for them as well. I think it's nice for older kids but it's not a huge place so older kids (secondary school age maybe) might want something a bit bigger. Still a good place for a family day out and good bird of prey displays!

3/ 5

This is a small animal park which might have been better if we'd had young children with us as I think they would have enjoyed it. However, I felt that the majority of animals could have been found on a farm park and a lot of the more exotic type animals must have hiding as we struggled to find them. I think the price to get in was reasonable and it wasn't too crowded which was nice. There is a cafe serving food and drinks and the food was lovely but did have quite a wait for this. Lots of picnic tables dotted around. Like I say, I think this park is probably better suited to families with primary school age as I think they would really enjoy it here.

Never been before to this wildlife park. There were some empty paddocks and cages but overall it was a good few hours out. It could do with a bit of TLC but animals looked cared for. Would recommend taking kids. Lots of space for safe distancing.

My husband and I spent the afternoon at the centre. We watched John demonstrate his bird of prey. Truly magnificent show. Then we took part in the Falconry Experience. Wow utterly amazing! We would highly recommend this experience. To have these amazing birds land so delicately on your arm is awesome. John is both amusing and highly informative. A must when visiting the Lake District.
