Having forked out quite a bit of cash to get in the place, we found that the train wasn't working(you have to pay extra for this, as well so it saved us some money). Having struggled uphill and down dale to get to the lion enclosure we were told that we would be given a talk about them....I don't think... More

My partner and I visited the park yesterday and I can honestly say it exceeded our expectations! The entrance fee was reasonable, especially considering the new owners seem to be trying hard to renovate the park! There was enough to keep us occupied for the afternoon, with interesting shows, talks and up close encounters with the animals! The staff showed... More

Boy oh boy what a fantastic place to visit. Be warned you have to be physically mobile. Pushchairs are hard work as I saw many this weekend and I was so glad I don't need one anymore. As soon as you enter the place looks great and all the animals are well caged,there is a sea lion show that's a... More

Dinosaurs are animals?! Who doesn't want to visit! We had a amazing time here. From enjoying the animated dinosaurs to walking alongside emu's and feeding the wallabies. This was a fun day out that me and my partner both enjoyed, we may be in our teens but doesn't mean grown ups won't enjoy it.

Great park. The dinosaurs are not the best but the animals make up for it. I paid an extra £30 and got to feed a lion and have my photo taken which was amazing. The park is very steep and hilly which would be a problem for wheelchair users or people with prams. It was a lovely day when I... More

A completely different experience at the Dinosaur park. The wallabies are amazing unless you have some noisey children or unappreciative adults pushing past. The real attractions are the animals and they are great. Be prepared to walk up and down hills all day as you attempt to make the lion feeds, meerkats, birds of prey, and sea lion shows! Leave...
