Bird World Reviews

Lovely place.. Lots to see and do. Good play facilities. Nice areas to have a picnic. Can definitely go for a day or just a couple of hours.. Definitely worth a second trip :)

Overall it was a good day out.
Park is much bigger than I expected and all the staff are great.

Lots of birds to see and lots of play areas for the kids.

Kids didn t find it engaging..... they seem to get bored very quickly, which is a shame as one is a huge bird fan and loves to tick them off in his book.

Also the hot dogs are awful... both kids and my wife all binned them after a few bites. Would recommend buying them.

Seen it, done it and don t feel a need to go back. We much prefer the wild life centre or godstone farm.

Pesonaly, i dont like to see any animal but especially bjrds in cages.

Very good for the ticket price as underwater world included

Lovely people and amazing bird's I've just started working there and loving it

Is a really good place but lost one star because they have nothing cockatiel related in the gift shop.

Always enjoy a visit, though it is starting to show it's age and looking a little tired, nonetheless it's a great day out.

Great range of activities for the kids, reasonably priced given they have the birdworld itself, a farm, playground, and aquarium.

The cafe wasn't great, they didn't have many meal options especially for kids and everything was left under the heat lamps way too long, chips were like cardboard! There were plenty of ice cream stands but none that served whippy ice cream which most kids will only have and there were many things for kids to do other than stroll around the park. It's also very dated now and really could do with a face-lift generally. For the money I would rather go to Marwell however, it was still an enjoyable day and they do have a great range of birds to see.

Went on a nice day, weatherwise. For a fairly compact site, there are a lot of birds and plenty of information boards. There are toilets scattered throughout which is helpful. Because of COVID 19, it was not crowded. Entry was fairly simple. We went to the garden centre next door for lunch (there's a marked path). Due to COVID there were sadly no flying displays. But the jenny wren farm was open where you could pet the animals. It was very pleasant and relaxing and accessible. I would go again.

Grandkids first visit. Over 6 hours looking around so praise indeed. Great staff. Good bird selection. Great petting areas. Well pleased

Just birds and more birds!, would have been nice to have some interactive experiences as for the price its not very good value

Great place to learn most of the bird species. Good to take children to teach them a lot.

A full day of outdoor fun, keeping the kids amused and not bickering. Must be worth the entrance fee.

The have arrange of different birds of prey to arrange water birds like the pink flamingos and to smaller fur animals down on the farm they also have a crocodile and other fish in another part of bird world it's a great place to take the family

Everything was done really well to aid social distancing and still have the complete Birdworld experience. Nothing was off show (apart from underwater World but thats because its inside and quite narrow. So for obvious safety reasons that was closed) and you could still pick up hot food/ice cream/general refreshments at kiosks around the park. Was very impressed. Well done Birdworld!

We had a really good day out..... the children (4 & 9) loved it. The children loved the mix of birds and loved the owls and the parrots and loved the flying display. The display in particular shyed away from the "standard" flying display of lets brink our the harriers and let them do there thing. The children thought the cheeky herons who were undercover as penguins were funny as well.
We had a lovely tiring day.

One complaint I have is quite a few times the big bushes in the enclosures obstruct the view of what's in there. As adults we stand more chance of seeing over but for the little ones it's more difficult.

We didn't go in the cafe we didn't have time, toilets were a mixed bag.

Great attraction. Spent 6 hours there and I'm pretty sure we didn't see everything, so well worth going for a whole day. All the birds seem to be well care for. We particularly liked the Terry Pratchett Owl Parliament, but all the birds are very beautiful. The parrots are spectacular! My daughter loved seeing the penguins and flamingos. I also recommend seeing the displays. During the indoor display we got to stroke a python (called Monty), very cool! The outdoor one displays birds flying over head, totally amazing!

My only complaint is that the toilets were a bit grubby and could do with a referb. However, I do understand that a referb can cost a lot of money, which is most likely put to better use caring for the birds. It wouldn't hurt to clean them a bit more often though.
We had a walk around the Underwater World too. Not a massive collection but definitely worth a look.
Amble free parking, always a bonus.

Fabulous day out, beautiful birds, lots for kids to do

Good day out. But some of the exhibits are a bit run down and the birds don't look particularly happy about it.

Birdworld is in need of some love, care and attention. It could be great but sadly isn t. Enjoyed my day, but it could be so much better.

Birdworld is great place for family day out and lots of different birds to see. Plenty of spaces for picnic and great location as well. Just next to water world.

Yes birds are in enclosures but a l as big as the bird size warrants.grounds beautiful. Has a farm area and play areas. Not all open at moment. I think would better for younger children. My grandson nearly two all birds are ducks he was in heaven.

A great place to come with a young family. Not too big to be exhausting. My only complaint / observation would be that there could be more hand washing points. There are lots of reminders to wash hands but it is challenging to keep a thumb sucking toddlers hands out of their mouth for long periods

Social distance measures don't retract from the experience it's really good. Kids had a blast and saw some amazing life.

Great day out with the family. Our 3 year old loved feeding and admiring the huge variety of birds.
Perfect size to cover in a day, along with Underwater World the small aquarium next door (included in the price). Couple of restaurants and a few more snack bars scattered conveniently.

Personally, I'm not too excited by birds. However, the kids loved it. It lost the final star because it's a bit pricy for what it is - look for vouchers.

it was so good and you can concet me if you like thank you

Came here for my boyfriends birthday treat. Got him the penguin experience, which I cannot recommend enough! Not only did he get to feed the penguins, he also got to meet and stroke one. The staff answered loads of questions and were really great. The whole day out was brilliant! We will definitely be back

All the birds and animals were in lovely condition it is a shame that the flying show couldn't be on even with sensible spacing. Despite this we had a lovely day

Very good walks around the corner corner there's a lot of difference birds birds plus a small farm with pigs, raindears, chickens and some small insects
There are some bird cages you can go into and be with the birds flying around your head
It worth a day out as it has lot for children to enjoy
There is a garden centre next to the birdworld place

Visited the place with the grandkids and they really enjoyed exploring the place.

Good place to visit. Lots to see and enjoy. Farm, cafe, BIRDS, animal farm. the aquarium was a bit disappointing for me.

Super day out. Great exhibits well laid out and maintained.

A magnificent collection of very healthy well looked after birds

Absolutely beautiful. As a bird lover, this really hits home how amazing the world of birds are. Would definitely recommend.

Enough to do for a full day or afternoon out. Ok cafe, gift shop & toilets. Feels a bit run down in places but some parts have been updated. The shows & talks are worth going to. Kids enjoy being able to feed the birds.

Took my Son here during half-term. He had a great time. Also loved the farm at the end of the park.

Fantastic place so many different types of birds. A very enjoyable trip

Nice day out with little ones, mostly family's around so no worries about the children running around. The bird shows were lovely and interactive and the Farm is also very interactive and staff were all friendly and helpful.

Absolutely fab day out.
Staff were great, social distancing was great. Hard work put in which gave us a great day.
Well done birdworld

Nice trip with the family, some parts closed which was unfortunate, but still plenty to see. Staff were all very good.

Great fun for kids, good amount of shelter for when it's raining badly

Liked it a lot more than I expected! Some truly amazing and exotic birds here, we felt lucky to be able to see them. Not much fun if it's really crowded though.

Lovely place to go with the family. I would say it's slightly over priced though, and you couldnt go there too often as it's often the same. The petting farm is great though

We stopped off here to break up a journey home. Wasn't expecting much beyond spending a couple of hours but was pleasantly surprised. We spend about 4 hours here and would visit again. A few parts are on need of sprucing up and modernising but all in all a good place to visit.

Lovely day out, the owl sanctuary is my favourite bit!

Extremely clean and beautiful place. I hardly recommend this place for a day out, picnics aloud in the green areas and always there are fun activities to join

Great place and day out for the family and children. Highly recommend!

Nice friendly club and challenging course. But greens need some attention.

Great family day, very well managed with social distancing.

1st visit,sadly on a time restraint.but will come again with no time restriction...make a full day of.
Ella loved it..so did we all.see you again soon.

We went during post Lockdown in August 2020 so there were no feeding times or shows. It was still an excellent day out and very good value for money. The booking system meant that it wasn't overcrowded and there are very sensible Covid measures in place. It is of course mainly birds! There is also a farm/ petting zoo area. There are several play areas with very nice innovative play equipment and picnic areas. The gift shop is stocked with high quality items but at a reasonable price. We took our own food so didn't get a chance to try the cafe but it looked to have a good range of choices judging by the menu board. One thing that impressed us was that the ice cream kiosk had a vegan choice. It was so nice for the lactose intolerant little one with us to be able to eat something like an ice cream when out.

Best place to spend time with birds and nature. Best place for bird lovers

Absolutely loved it! Amazing place to go, you can feed all the birds if you buy the mealworms, they love them! Such a good selection of birds. If you're a bird lover like me you'll have a great time!

A nice relaxing day out! Huge array of birds. The shows and learning are fun and informative. We do Santa's grotto every year too.

Fantastic day out with the family! Staff very welcoming and helpful. Lots to do and see. Loved it !

Haven't been here since I was a little girl and it was lovely to take my kids.
We went for the santa visit and had a great time and it was well worth the money.

Ok for bird lovers but really needs more there . However the kids enjoyed it ... Hot Food available is limited & mediocre, cooked by very young inexperienced staff... "farm" petting area again limited ... been to much better elsewhere ... bird display was ok
Waterworld was small and limited

Birdworld is fantastic, used to come here as a kid so took my wife to show her and it was as great as it used to be, such a wide variety of birds and the shows were good as well

Awesome birds, but the underwater world was a bit disappointing.
