We were staying across the road from the great central steam railway cafe. We decided to have breakfast in the week after relaxing of lockdown rules. This is a fab historic place. The tea room is well laid oit, spacious inside and out, and has adapted very well to the new safety, distancing, sanitiser procedures. Still relaxed friendly and social with good food. As an extra precaution they take addresses and contact details of customers, and were checking that no-one was coming from Leicester which is currently in lockdown. We were visiting family and will definately come again.

Due to a major refurbishment we will not be open during 2018. Work starts after Easter and should be finished by September. Remembrance Sunday will be as normal.

Really interesting history inside mainly focused on the two world wars. The money you pay to get in goes towards its upkeep. I chatted to a really interesting veteran who really knew his stuff and was super friendly. Worth a visit if you're in loughborough.

Reviewed By IAN265310 - Loughborough, United Kingdom
We visited earlier in the week for the first time and were very impressed! Fortunately the weather was in our favour which added to a good time. We were very pleased with the Covid measures adopted at the park and the general level of cleanliness! There were a good range of animals to see and although one or two activities were currently postponed this did not detract from our day. The staff were very friendly and helpfull, the Antlers bistro served good food at very reasonable prices and it was lovely to sit on the veranda in the sunshine! We will return!

Have been twice on school trips. Both times have found the staff so engaging with the children and passionate about what they do. Well worth visiting

The Sock Statue is near the market in the town centre. It brings a bit of cheer to the place and has the customary shiny bits that everyone loves to rub. Not sure it's for luck or just the feel of the sculpture but it's pretty compelling
