Tips

Beautiful location, off the beaten track. The birds and animals were friendly and well cared for. The cages were clean and well maintained. The entrance price lasts for a year so is great value. We went with a 2 & 4 year old and they loved it. The enchanted forest play area is very unique with houses for the 3 bears and fairy toadstools. The tea rooms looked inviting but we didn't use this time.
