Visited today to see Santa, and also make use of the fantastic outdoor facilities. The boys had the best fun, there is so much to do and a lovely little cafe where we enjoyed a cuppa on the balcony while we watched the play. Santa was absolutely amazing, took so long chatting to the boys and they truly loved meeting him. We will definitely be back again and only wish we had discovered it sooner!

See the network of underground canal routes that helped form the industrial Black Country and marvel at the fantastic Limestone Caverns. Enjoy a canalside walk or relaxing boat trip, and admire the local history. See if you can spot any of the limestone fossils remaining from when the area was below sea, and explore the Dudley Tunnel - don't be startled by the bats!

I have Covid-19 lockdown to thank for visiting this hidden gem! Driven past hundreds of times on my way to Merry Hill and never thought to stop and take a look. With the past few weeks being spent exploring on foot what is in my local area, I venture along the canal from Netherton up to the reservoir and into Saltwells Nature Reserve and was absolutely awestruck at how beautiful it is! Lots of paths to explore, metal sculptures to happen upon, a glorious carpet of bluebells in Spring and wildlife to spot. Quite wonderful!

Hundreds of exotic and endangered animals inhabit an ancient wooded hillside, with a rich geological history, around the ruins of the 11th century Dudley Castle and share a site with the world’s largest single collection of Modernist Tecton structures – and the country’s only vintage chairlift!

Lovely day out to see the animals. Animal enclosures well kept and lots of improvement/investment since our last visit a few years ago. Only suggestion would be to add notes to enclosures with the animals names/ages, when they arrived, where they came from etc, I personally find that interesting. Well managed social distancing measures with one way system, hand sanitisers and patient visitors. Felt busy at the start but people naturally spread out the further though you get. Although some areas closed, still so much to see and do it didn't impact the day.

Took my 13 month old here today. For £3.50 you cannot beat the price for a good couple of hours out. You can make a donation as well, but we will also be back many times. The posters explaining each animals circumstances were good to read and all seemed to be cared for. It’s a shame that this place doesn’t get any funding and needs to be supported for the work it’s doing. Nice little picnic/play area at the end of the walk. 100% returning in the future
