Took my daughter here for a day out to feed some animals and wasn't expecting too much, but to my surprise, it was so much better than I expected.
It took us an hour to get there, but upon arrival we were greeted by a nice lady on the front desk. She explained the rules, when a mask is required etc, and offered us some animal food. Told us what animals can be fed, and pointed out that it says on the lid too.
We walked on, and firstly seen the owls, and as the same goes to everyother animal in there, my two year old was able to see, either through the cage or a window cut in place, although the meerkats I had to lift her up for.
We continued round and seen some otters, very lively and intrigued by us. Then were the foxes lazing in the sun. A few more animals later we got to the sheep, donkeys, and deer.
My daughter was fascinating by the sheep while feeding them, but as we got to the deer, it was feed time for them and they weren't too interested, but very lively and my daughter loved them. We then walked past some big cats and then back into the meerkat part. After this we had some lunch. The tables were covered with plastic which I'm assuming would make them easier to clean.
After lunch we went to the lemurs and llamas, then on into the sensory forest which was great, my daughter loved it in there and making sounds with the equipment. We continued on.... Eventually.... And went for an ice-cream, there's a shaded seating area and I fairly big play park there too. There is also a go-kart track (peddlers) around a dirt track, unfortunately the yes didn't seem to be working, as if the chains had come off.
Overall, this was a great day, plenty of hand sanitisers stations around and staff there are friendly. All seemed to be very interactive with myself and my daughter. We had a great day and will most positively will be going again.
