This amazing animalbrehad sanctuary is open to the public and is a great way for kids and animals to see some very spectacular and endangered birds, primates and other animals including Lions and Tigers. It is well worth a visit. Lots of informative plaques and notes at each cage tell the whole story.

The children love it here, favourites are the walk through aviary and especially the venomous snake room. The show is good too. Top tip is to go early and you can have the place to yourself. The play area is nice for younger kids.

Great experience for the whole family. Safe parking and all night security for your peace of mind. Best bonfire and easy stroll for an hour to view animals on a guided walk. Sleep under the stars,with insect repellent, or bring your tent. Friendly respectful and well presented staff. Would highly recommend it for a memorable family trip.

I’m one of those who loves seeing animals out in the wild rather than seeing them in zoos, but we all enjoyed a day out at this zoo. There is a huge variety of animals (mammals, birds, reptiles and others) so it caters for all, the cages are spacious and clean, there are cafes, food stalls and restrooms aplenty. I would recommend this especially for children!

Great venue, good staff and very pleasant experience, highly recommended. Make sure you go on a sunny day, Animals are easy to see and access, well marked and well laid out venue. Great for tourists, a little small and far out to travel if you're not a local though.
