Lots of animals to see that will interest young children and packs of feed are available. Opportunity to wash hands before leaving and simple explanations and names of the animals are on all the pens leading to familiarity with favourite animals on subsequent visits. Well run and a delightful addition to all that Astley Park offers to families.
