点评:Visited here with my family (Wife and 3 kids) on what was an overcast, Saturday.
Car park was plentiful. My wife and I got in for free as we are Carers/with our Access Cards.
This place is absolutely brilliant. The kids loved it, we loved it. Everything looks new/new-ish and is cared for and looked after (The animals, the playground equipment and Cafes alike).
It was busy but we weren’t on top of other families, you could breathe and felt you had space. Some areas were loud but there are other alternatives, especially if you have neurodiverse kids.
The fact you could walk amongst the animals was what makes this place special and it blew the kids away. Being fair, it’s not as big as Twycross or other wildlife parks and it doesn’t have as many animals - but we had way more fun here than any of the others! The different paths leading to different places made it feel bigger than it is and stopped the kids from getting bored by retracing their steps constantly or having a mad rush to the next exhibit. Another thing I appreciated was the number of viewing areas and platforms as it didn’t pack families on top of each other and there were no waiting around to get a view.
I’m glad we found this ‘hidden’ gem and we would and will definitely be returning.
翻译:周六阴天,我和家人(妻子和三个孩子)一起去了这里。
停车场车位充足。我和妻子因为是陪护人员/持有无障碍卡,所以免费入场。
这个地方真是太棒了!孩子们玩得非常开心,我们也玩得非常开心。所有东西看起来都很新,而且维护得很好(动物、游乐设施和咖啡馆都一样)。
虽然人很多,但我们并没有和其他家庭挤在一起,感觉很放松,空间也足够。有些地方比较吵闹,但也有其他选择,特别是如果你带着神经多样性的孩子。
能够近距离接触动物是这个地方的特别之处,孩子们对此兴奋不已。公平地说,它没有特威克罗斯或其他野生动物园那么大,动物种类也没有那么多——但我们在这里玩得比在其他任何地方都开心得多!通往不同区域的多条路径让整个园区显得比实际更大,也避免了孩子们因为反复走回头路或急匆匆地奔向下一个展区而感到无聊。另一个让我很欣赏的是,这里有很多观景台和平台,不会让一家人挤在一起,也不用排队等候。
很高兴我们发现了这个“隐藏的宝藏”,我们一定会再来的。
