What an experience! My two children were shocked at the variety of animals! They loved exploring the whole area from animal handling and lots of fun facts to a toy area where you can purchase cool little reptile themed toys, to refreshments to raffles to face painting by a lovely lady. Would 100000% recommend! Staff are lovely and helpful. Very approachable. They also had little certificates for the children for after the experience. Overall amazing day out and very cheap too if you are wanting a family day out and don’t have a lot of money. Refreshments are well priced, and face paints were £5 each with lots of cool and up to date designs. Thanks again guys! Look forward to seeing you guys again soon!
